Our partnership
CLASSROOM PARTNERSHIP: 1 + 1 = 3 I believe that teachers, students, and parents/guardians work together on a team to achieve our academic and personal goals.
I tell my students that when they give everything they have and I give everything I have, we are able to produce something far greater than what we started with!
