"When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower." -Alexander den Heijer- I am constantly striving to make my classroom a place where all my students bloom. I believe in the potential of each and every student. Within my school over 60 languages are spoken and the students hail from countries all over the world. It is truly a one-of-a-kind school. My 27 students are mostly low income English language learners. That fact combined with the decrease in educational funding has led me to ask for the generosity of my community members to help me to create an inspirational learning environment for my students.
