I have never before seen a more loving group of 22 students. These children are filled with humor, love, joy, respect, and kindness not only for one another, but themselves as well. They are so passionate about learning and enter the classroom each day eager to learn something new. Whenever I introduce a new unit, eyes and ears perk up because they are so genuinely excited to research and explore new information. I have a diverse group of learners with various learning aptitudes, but the level of care each student has for their peers' learning is tremendous and they support each other to help reach their personal potentials. We are learning the foundations of school, such as reading, writing, and math skills, however we go deeper by utilizing project based learning and hands on exploration. I adore all of my students and have seen them prosper and continue to watch them grow each and every day!
