This year, I have the privilege of working with three very unique classes, two of which are special needs inclusion classrooms. Our students are eager and resilient. They are dedicated to self growth and drive each other to be successful in everyday task from homework, to class participation and more. They encourage one another to stand by their own work and voice their individuality. Our school strives for excellence and each one of us share the excitement as they grow from school dependent learners to independent learners. Their ability to make the decision of what they want to read will ultimately lead them to be successful readers and leaders of the future.
