These students absolutely love to learn. I am blessed to teach 25 funny and intelligent young men who are driven and curious. I have taught them to embrace the phrase 'This is hard, BUT I like a challenge" and that is certainly what we face. Most students have been on the bilingual track, transitioning into their first year in English, however, many have come to the United States within the past year or two. We have made tremendous growth this year, they came in with English reading levels around Second grade, and we have jumped quite a bit. I am a self-contained teacher, meaning I have one class for the entire day and teach them all the subjects. It's going to be such a great year and even better with your help!
