My Project

I love that my students have zeal and they don't give up too easy. Most of them work hard, and there are some who are focused challenged. I have students that like learning. They are more influenced by good than bad. Teaching them helps me to grow as a teacher. I would say they need more confidence in themselves, meaning knowing how to encourage themselves. I hope to boost confidence by awarding them every time they have good accomplishments and walk out integrity in just normal day to day. They have made leaps and bounds. I'm hoping the same for this next group!
