If I could describe my classroom in five words, they would be: authentic, rigorous, supportive, engaging, and enthusiastic. Students in my class have ownership of their own learning and a lot of what goes on happens naturally. Because of the passion I have for my career and my strong desire to teach kids, my class is definitely engaging. Hearing any student say, "Wow, class is over already?" is the best compliment I could get, right next to, "I wish I could stay in your class all day." Every student in my classroom has a unique voice and special in their own way. I don't even mind spending an average of $300 a year for them. I care about kids and they know it. Taking the time to know my students well, not just as learners, but also as people has helped to create a real sense of belonging in our shared space. No matter the obstacles they face outside the class, they strive to be the best they can be every single day.
