Just a Snapshot of Me . . . The ABC's of Mrs Bieber's Classroom!

I love my job . . . I get to spend my days with kids!  When you do what you love, I believe that creativity and a desire for excellence naturally follow.  I am driven to create, develop, plan, organize, and produce my best for my students.  This teacher's heart is the driving force behind my love for teaching!

My classroom is an extension of my heart and because that is true, I always quickly establish my expectations for mutual respect and care in our environment.  As we work together to establish what a quality students looks like and talks like, students share their thoughts. After this happens, classroom expectations are written and displayed for all to see.  Character traits of a quality student are discussed and students quickly realize that character counts in Mrs. Bieber's classroom!  Establishing a classroom where students are expected to treat others with patience, kindness, and care, is one way that quality character traits are encouraged and developed in students!

Once school begins, I love keeping my students engaged and busy throughout the day!  Together we work hard, striving to accomplish our daily goals.  We give our very best to all that we do, while we care for one another!  When the expectations are clear and the bar of excellence is set high . . . students always reach  higher and for more!  Children thrive in an environment where they are expected to succeed!  When someone believes in a child's ability to be excellent , they always strive for their very best!

With all of that in mind, here is my a snapshot of who I am as a teacher.  It is a look into my hopes and heart for my classroom this coming year!
