Our classroom may seem like just another classroom from the outside, but as soon as you step foot into our learning environment, you will see why I have the best job in the world! You might be thinking what makes desks, pencils, and a rug so inviting? Well spend five minutes alongside a student learning and you will see why our classroom bond is like a family! You will see my students hard at work, caring conversations between one another, and kind acts constantly which makes me proud to be their teacher! When my students grow up they want to be authors, inventors, musicians, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs! Many of my students come from families that speak multiple languages, and for almost half my class English is their second language. We learn from each other every single day and strive to make our world a better place!
