“A true teacher connects with every child at his or her level. We take the time to know each child and to connect with them at their level”
“Working with all of our students is like taking a journey through a black hole. Sometimes that journey is turbulent, but it is always an adventure; at the other end of that journey is a star. I love that image and strive to bring that brightness out in every child”
“When kids connect with understanding what they read using their visualization skills, the world opens up for them!
Being a part of their lives when that happens is magical. Creating an environment where students WANT to learn is what 3D Learner is all about.
