My Students

All the students come from all kinds of backgrounds. My students are driven and are always curious to learn more. We are a choice school so the parents choose to have their child attend our school. My students love to read and to seek out answers when they don't know or even when I don't know.

My Project

In my classroom it is important that all the students feel included and special. Students knowing that you care about them is very important. A student will care a lot more about what you are teaching if they like you.

Creating a more diverse library in the classroom can help my students in many ways.

I want all of my students to be able to see themselves as characters in books no matter what. Every student in the class is a future something. This is an age where they can start learning what they what to be and what their passions are.
