My Students

My students are the forgotten bunch and the thrown away children, but when they enter my classroom, they become MY children. This is why I give my students a lot of love. I want them to have constant reminders that they are somebody and will be somebody.

My Project

The book Warriors Don't Cry is a text that will give students a better understanding of where their culture has come from and where it is headed. It will help students become more appreciative of the opportunities they are given and realize they cannot take them for granted. A lot of books are about things that my students cannot relate to so their attention tends to stray.

Our classroom has a competitive vibe, but you compete against yourself.

So when the work of the day is done, having games to play is a good way to unwind.
