My Kindergarten class is so enthusiastic about learning! They love it when I tell them that I am going to give them a "tricky" problem. They always respond with "we're too smart, you can't trick us!" My hope for them is to keep that passion and determination throughout the year, as well as throughout their education. My school sets very high expectations for all their students, even the little ones! I think this is especially important coming from the area in which my students live. It is so crucial that they have adults in their lives that hold them to a high standard and express interest in their future. My kids work each day towards being the best they can be. Another thing that I love about my kids is their willingness to help one another. They know that we need to work as a team and support each other in order to make this year successful!
