Mrs. Moyer's favorite quote comes from Indiana Jones... "It's not the years, it's the mileage." To
her this means that it doesn't matter how old or how young you are; what matters is what you have done with your life.
You should ask yourself, "Have I made a difference in the life of someone else; have I made a difference in
the world?" A quote from the Core Knowledge curriculum she likes to use with her Kindergarteners is... From little
acorns, big oaks grow.
Mrs. Moyer explains that any student
in her kindergarten class can do something with their lives; any one of them can accomplish whatever they want through hard
work and determination. She wants her students to set their goals high, to be motivated and ....she sincerely believes they
can accomplish anything!
