      I am teaching in an IB School as a classroom teacher of four to five-year-old children. The learning is play based and promotes curiosity and observation skills among young children. I practice mindfulness and yoga with my students and I lead mindfulness sessions to teachers twice a month. I provide a range of play-based learning experiences that offer a balance between child-initiated and guided play. I model and promote respect and empathy through daily activities with children. Focusing on environmental education, planting trees, recycling, organizing trash collections trips, and educating children about sustainability and the importance of biodiversity. Show less
