Since the moment I walked inside the doors at Westminster Community Charter School, I knew it was a place I wanted to be. That feeling continued when I walked into my current first grade classroom 4 years ago. In that time my classroom has evolved from a simple classroom into a home for my students. My classroom is a place where we roll up our sleeves and work hard each day. It is a place where we explore and learn together. It is a place where we make mistakes and grow from them. And it is also a place where we have fun! Every day I expect more out of my students and every day they expect more out of me.
