Meet my amazing students! I teach fifth and sixth graders with academic and behavioral needs. They are hardworking, kind, and eager to learn. Even when the work is challenging, I encourage my students to try their best and foster growth mindsets in them. My students have been working hard to learn the expectations and know they have to "do it again" to learn appropriate behaviors. I am a firm believer in positive behavior support and my students are eager to earn their DOJO points or get to borrow the "Super Student!" bracelets for the day. My students and I celebrate each step towards their goals and I remind them each day of how proud I am of them for trying and making progress. I am blessed to teach and learn with my wonderful fifth and sixth graders and I look forward to helping them gain more supports for our classroom!
