Mrs.
Van Dyke's Mission Statement
My mission is to inspire my students in every way
that I can. I will work toward reaching the students in my classroom
by tapping into their interests and prior knowledge. I will then
act as a guide on their journey through third grade, leading
them toward discovery and further exploration of ideas and topics.
My students will love learning because they will see how much
I love learning. They will have fun in my classroom and will
view their school experiences in a different light than they
have in the past. I will bridge their knowledge gained in third
grade with real-life connections so that the students will continue
their life-long journey through education.
I will actively listen to each student in my class
and support them in every way possible. I will take genuine care
and concern when they are worried, upset, frustrated, or angry
about something and will work with them to figure out a solution.
I will know my students’ interests, hobbies, hopes, and dreams
so that I can tailor-fit my teaching to them.
I expect the very best from each student, not only
academically, but also behaviorally and socially. I realize that
it is up to me to teach my students techniques and steps to take
in order to meet my expectations. We will work as a team to bring
out the best in everyone in our classroom. I will empower the
students in my class to be the best that they can be everyday.
