My beautiful enthusiastic first and second graders are ready for anything. No challenge is to big for them! I admire this about my "go getter" students especially because some are homeless while the others come from very low income families. The outrageous challenges my students face at home has not defeated them, they are ready to learn and strive for a better life. Their smiles, outlook on life, and determination to succeed has inspire me to become a better teacher everyday.
I not only teach a half combo class, but I also volunteered to teach art for all of the first grade classes. Unfortunately, art is ALWAYS the first thing cut to make more time for reading and mathematics. I truly believe that my young artists need to express themselves through art at least once a week.
