Our school was recently named a "Minnesota School of Excellence" and rated a "Reward School" by the Minnesota Department of Education. This doesn't happen by chance. We have students that work hard to achieve their goals and teachers who empower and believe in ALL students. Our elementary houses PreK-6 and serves approximately 470 students. My classroom currently houses 19 eager learners who are deserving of high quality materials to be engaged in. My students come from a variety of socioeconomic households but are entitled to a classroom that provides materials that ALL students can learn no matter what their background is. Resources are so very limited in our school so asking for materials is almost unheard of. My kindergarten students are like sponges and will work hard at any task that is given to them. We take learning to read very seriously but done in an age-appropriate way. I can count on them using classroom materials respectfully and purposefully.
