My students are incredible. They come from a variety of home lives where some have every need met and more, while others arrive to school not having basic needs met. Despite the fact that many of my students are below grade level in reading, they are held to high expectations and continue to meet them. They take language risks on a daily basis and work hard to be a stronger student in all areas. They are given multiple opportunities to show mastery, and they take every chance to show what they can do - getting better every time and never giving up.
