My Project

Second Semester and I just love that my students expect me to take care of them. My students are eager to look forward to coming to school and knowing that I will be waiting on them and taking care of them all day.

The expectations are that they rest and come ready to learn the material to go on to the next level.

I am in the business of providing what they need in order to prepare and become college or career ready.

My students look for me to have water to stay hydrated and snacks to keep them fueled as we work to master the coursework at hand. It can become a challenge when they just don't have that little extra boost of energy to make it to the second half of the day.
