My Project

The items requested will make a huge impact in my classroom because the kids will be very excited about coming into my classroom and getting their work done. They are constantly being celebrated for their hard work and effort! When we cheer the kids and validate their work, they feel successful and want to continue even when it gets hard. My goal is for my students to feel successful and appreciated and cared for. My students are special because they are dedicated, hard working and respectful! They love learning and are excited about new things!
