About Me:
Hello! My name is Lori Patton, and I am thrilled to be teaching 7th grade Mathematics and 8th grade Theatre this year at FPLS. I have been teaching for over 29 years, and my passion is helping students discover their potential and develop a love for Mathematics and the Fine Arts.
Education:
Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Concentration in Mathematics - Wilmington College
Master’s Degree Mathematics Education- Walden University
Certified in all subjects grades 1-8 and Higher level Mathematics
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that every student can learn and improve their mathematical abilities at their individual level with help and guidance from a knowledgeable and caring teacher.
I believe that students need to practice their math skills daily both in school and at home. Mathematics is not just a subject in school, but a life skill that is important for daily survival skills and is used in every job that they will encounter in the future.
I believe that Drama and Theatre skills are also very useful. Students need to learn how to present themselves and speak in front of others. Students develop a sense of teamwork and comradery in Theatre class that they might not get in other classes.
