Teacher: Mrs. Martha Schwalm

Name:Martha Schwalm

Year started at Creative School:2016

Sneak peek about me:I am certified to teach grades 1-8 but teaching 4 year olds is my absolute favorite. I love being outdoors and think it is essential to wellbeing.  I have four children so I figured out long ago that I don’t have all the answers and that I’ll need a zone defense.

Favorite scripture:‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Words to live by:The less you assume you know, the smarter you become.

Dream vacation:Hawaii.  There are beaches to lay on, rain forests to explore, and enough chocolate to keep me going.

Teaching philosophy: “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”  --Maria Montessori
