I can say with 100% certainty that I have the most incredible, talented, amazing 6th grade students in the entire state of Iowa! I have the absolute privilege to teach each of my 58 students every day. They are energetic, creative, intelligent, and always eager to learn! Most days I am left speechless at how hard these kids will work. Every day I learn so much from them and I know they truly can change the world for the better if given the time, encouragement, and materials. Thank you for choosing to read and learn about our class!
