My students are hard to put into words, each is unique and lovely in their own way. In short, they are full of personality and love to interact and share thoughts, opinions, and compliments to everyone who comes to class. We refer to one another as family in my classroom and the students fully embrace the term as a lifestyle. We love one another as family and build one another up as we learn, play, and grow together each day.
