Self Directed Learner Reminder
As we are approaching the end of the school year, I want to say that I am proud of my students because most of them are able to working group settings and independently. My students have been using their google classroom to communicate and they are also able to ask question in person. They are growing to be self directed learners which increases, their self management and their capabilities of solving problems. Parents are welcome to check everything on google classroom but please do not write message on your child google classroom. You may send an email/ a note if you have any concern. Google classroom has allowed me to help my student with their concerns as it comes on my phone as a "text message." Thank you so much for your comprehension.
Amazon Wishlist
As we gear up for an exciting school year filled with learning and growth, I wanted to share a wonderful opportunity to further enhance our classroom experience. I created an Amazon Wishlist with carefully selected items that will greatly benefit our students’ education journey. You may check out the link below. Add your favorite items!
