Quotes

"We spend a lot of time in class intentionally building community. I want students to get the sense that we are not just people occupying the same physical space for one school year, but that our lives are intertwined now. We share and celebrate successes and support each other through tough times. I want students to leave my class knowing that they matter and that they can accomplish anything."
