I've been blessed all of my life with having the best students. I can't recall a year that wasn't awesome and fun year-round. The kids come into class with a thirst for knowledge. It's clear that they love my school and are excited to try new things, join different clubs, and make new friends. In my class, we act as a family. We encourage each other, we laugh together, and hey, we even sometimes disagree at times. We look out for one another and really push the value of love and aloha.
Many of my Health Lessons are fun to do, but I've learned that incorporating art into them has been the most successful.
Having them express their ideas and understanding through art has opened up so many doors for my kids and have even boosted their confidence!
