My Students
My students dive into learning everyday. They are excited to learn new things, and are encouraged by big and small successes. They are classroom and global citizens who are curious about the world. They are eager to apply all they know in every opportunity they get.
The beauty of our student body is it's diversity.
Students come from various cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and types of learners. Because of it's diversity, students are not only learning from their teachers but also from their peers.
My Project
Learning how to write is a foundational skill for all students, especially in the primary grades. These early stages of learning is crucial. Therefore, as teachers, we want to be able to support them as much as we can.
Handwriting should be fun!
However, it can be frustrating as children in their primary years are still developing their fine motor skills. These workbooks are developmentally appropriate, and makes handwriting fun!
Students will feel successful and confident as they learn how to hand write neatly and clearly. Developing this foundational skill will significantly impact their learning in all areas of study.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
