Capturing the essence of my classroom in a description is almost an impossible task because it is hard to put into words what exists within 4 walls. We all know classrooms are for learning but even more so they can be a space of transformation, growth, safety, and solace. My students come from diverse backgrounds and when they come to school I aim to make them feel like they've come home. When we foster community, build routines and support our learners through arts literacy integration, the performance cycle, and engaging opportunities students can do anything. With that being said, I feel that is what happens in my classroom-a place where nothing is impossible and the future is bright!
