"Get ready to learn!" is what I always tell my 2nd-grade students every day as a reminder of what they are here for. I start the day with vigor and energy, and have my students pumped up and excited about the day ahead.. I strongly believe in motivation and engagement. Because of language barriers, not all share the love for learning in English, but I would say that the more they practice, the lesser the challenge-once they are motivated and engaged in the process. My school has a high number of students who are English Language Learners, and there are a few who are part of special education and gifted program. Even though we have to cater for and adapt to such a wide range of learning needs, we know that all children will learn if given the right tools and technology and teachers who care.
