My students are very bright, energetic, and spirited kids. There are many involved community members that make our school a fun and exciting place. Many of my students have been at the school since Kindergarten and have developed lifelong friendships with each other. Because of this my students are courteous, helpful, and caring towards each other. This is a trait that many will need for success in the real world. My students are also very honest, and sometimes so funny. After all, kids do say the darnest things. It's these marvelous traits that I love about my students that make me love being their teacher. As much and I motivate my students, they inspire me in return to look at life from a child's perspective and keep the simple things to be full of wonder. Adults lose their childlike imagination and stay on the straight and narrow. My students will always keep my imagination running and help me relate to them.
