My Project

Something I love about each of the students I have had these last few years is that there is so much diversity in each class I have taught but no matter how different each one of them may be they still work together and love one another. These can range from diversity in learning and teaching children who have disabilities and learn at a different pace, as well as cultural diversities. It is a joy of mine to have so many different children that truly work together, help each other, and enjoy being at school in a fun and safe environment that is provided to them to the very best of my ability. My students are amazing, humorous, and love to learn. They are the reason I love teaching.
