My Project

I would like to give my students an emoji bag filled with books, invisible ink pens, notepads, and other fun things. We start every day by reciting our Cardinal Code. The two lines that embody what I see in my students daily are enter ready to learn and do your best even when it’s hard. I set pretty high expectations for all my students; and my first graders not only met, but exceeded those expectations.

I strongly believe you get what you earn, and these students have earned a reward for their achievements.

I hope these gifts will encourage them to continue to have strong work habits.
