My Project

At the beginning of the year, I witnessed timid students enter my class. I love watching my students become confident individuals who are not afraid to participate in class and lead activities. My students are eager to learn. They readily assist their classmates.

Having pens and markers in class for projects, encourages students to become better organized and better prepared for classes.

Students will use all materials to create flipbooks. Students will learn to better effectively organize classwork. I try my best to help students become better organized to keep up with their work.
