Hi, my name is Amy Ashe-Lane and this is my 19th year teaching fourth grade at Griffin Memorial School. I am looking forward to meeting with all of you in the near future! You should have received a letter in the mail with the supplies necessary for 4th grade. Please contact me at 424-5931 or email at -Lane should you have any questions.Mrs. Amy Ashe-Lane

 

So that you can have the full appreciation of what we will accomplish in the classroom this year, I would like you to know my philosophy of education. 

• I believe that children need to feel comfortable in school in order for optimal learning to take place. From day one, I will treat your child as an individual and do whatever is in my means to make your child feel comfortable in our classroom.
• I believe children deserve respect and that a child's self-esteem should be nurtured tenderly.
• I believe my job is to teach until a child learns, rather than punish until learning takes place.
• I believe that if I am willing to say, "I'm 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 his attempts to learn.
• I believe modeling is the most powerful way to affect a child's learning. Please model the love of learning at home by reading to and in front of your child.
• I believe that a sense of humor goes a long way in a classroom. Your child will know that he/she can always share something fun or humorous with the class at appropriate times, as I will do the same. Laughter is not only a learning tool, but it can help build self-esteem.
