Philosophy of Education

Parents/Guardians:

I want you to have a full appreciation of what your children and I will accomplish in the classroom this year; therefore, I would like you to know my philosophy of education.

   * I believe children deserve respect
   * I believe children should not be humiliated, hurt, or embarrassed intentionally
   * I believe children's self-esteem should be nurtured tenderly
   * I believe that if I am willing to say, "I am sorry," when I make a mistake, I do not have to be afraid of making a mistake, and the students will learn the same.
* I want all children to enjoy the learning process, and I want to help them to develop their own motivation for learning. I hope to do my best to encourage your child to succeed in their attempts to learn.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have this year. I am looking forward to an exciting and challenging year!

Dear Parents/Guardians:

     Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! My name is Mrs. Schwinger and I have the privilege of teaching your children Social Studies and 8B Religion this year. Social Studies is a broad course that will include the following areas: history, geography, sociology, psychology, and current events. The students will learn numerous facts this year, as well as an understanding of the culture and events that shape our society.

     In order for the students to properly learn, I ask that they do the following:
     * come to class prepared with textbooks, notebooks, and pens
     * complete all homework assignments
     * do the assigned reading in preparation for class discussions
     * read a daily newspaper or watch the nightly news to remain aware of current events
     * respect each other and property
     * come to tutoring, if necessary, on Wednesdays from 2:20-3:20 (no 1/2 days)
     * always ask questions if something does not make sense
     * keep their notebooks clean and organized
     * keeps all maps and handouts in their binders specifically for social studies
     * ENJOY CLASS!!!
