“For 40 years, I emphasized the love of learning over a lifetime. I wanted the children to be readers and writers. I wanted the children to enjoy good stories and to connect the stories with their world. Foremost, I wanted children to reach and stretch their learning as far as they could in a challenging environment. I will miss the challenge of figuring out what makes each child ‘tick.’ I consider myself a keen observer of children and tried to gear the program and even my interactions to meet the needs of the children. I wanted to make sure that each child received a daily dose of encouragement, smiles and understanding. When a student needed more encouragement, I tried to be there for the child.”
