My Students

My students come from many different backgrounds of life. Every year, I get a new group of children that become my second family. There is never a dull moment in the teaching profession. Some days are easier than others, but my students are the ones who get me through the days. I am going into my 20th year of teaching, and I can not wait to start the school year. I look forward to meeting my students and welcoming each of them into my classroom.

My Project

I am entering my 20th year of teaching. I need to give my classroom a "facelift." The classroom decor will help inspire my students to want to learn. I want to create a happy and safe learning environment for every student that enters my classroom. The colorful and inspirational decor will remind my students that they are special and that they can achieve anything with hard work and effort. I want to reach out to students with low self-esteem and remind them of their worth. By creating a room filled with colorful and inspirational decor, my students will know that I believe in them and their ability to learn.
