Over the past 16 years I have taught in four different schools and the students here are the most excited about learning of any school that I have ever taught. My current students work the hardest and appreciate any amount of time, any amount of love, and any amount of learning that I am able to give them. I will be beginning my third year here and I hope will never leave. I am passionate about keeping my students engaged and in maintaining their excitement! 100% of the students receive free lunch at my Title I school. While I cannot control the environment my students live, I do control my classroom environment. My room is a safe place for all of my students. Everyone is free ask questions, make mistakes and are able to be comfortable being themselves.
