My name is Kim Finkle and I love teaching grade 2. I have had the pleasure of teaching at St. Mary's Catholic School since 2010. I received my teaching degree at GPRC through the TEN program. Prior to continuing my journey toward life long learning, I received a diploma in Business Administration and a diploma in Travel and Tourism. I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren of my own and enjoy working with my students. My philosophy towards teaching is very much based on my desire to provide all children with a safe and caring environment in which they may feel encouragement and support towards being successful, not only in their learning endeavours, but in every area of their lives. I consider my strongest assets to be that I am extremely energetic, enthusiastic and nurturing.
