My Project

This time of the year is more challenging for sure! Every year seems to be more challenging to get students to persevere. Students are losing their motivation to try their best! I am hoping to offer an 'elite only' section that students will have to earn this special area. This section will include a new table, stools and ottomans. If they are among the elite group of students that have persevered that day, the next day they get to sit in the special area as a reward.

I have amazing students that try, they just need a little extra push to continue to give their best at all times.
