This 5th grade class is an enjoyable group filled with laughter and kindness daily. At our school, we live by three rules: Do the right thing, treat people right, and value our learning. My class truly understand these guidelines and demonstrate them throughout their daily routines. This class also loves vocalizing their thoughts, which allows us to learn a lot from cooperative learning and accountable talk. As a school, the administrator, teachers, and students are all on the same page. We are consistent across the board with expectation. Setting high expectation is extremely important to our school, especially since we have a lot of students who do not have a lot at home. 90% of our school includes students who are on free/reduced lunch plans. Despite their challenges, our goal is to create a safe, learning environment that makes kids want to come to school everyday and that is exactly what we do! Our students love being at school, which makes my job ten times more enjoyable.
