My Project

This class started as a challenging class. As time went on we have made a beautiful bond. We have all grown in all ways.

One of our favorite units was time so I think giving watches to symbolize how we’ve learned to care for each other is perfect!

As the students see their watch the can think of how valuable every minute we had together was. We love each other and have grown into a big, caring class family. I’m going to miss our time together. They deserve a nice treat to remember how precious every moment was.
