Lilly H and her growth throughout the school year. She’s running so tall and confident no matter what we do or play. It’s amazing to watch her classmates work to help her participate.

Addie has made positive growth in the library this year! At the beginning of the year, she would be very disruptive and had to be removed from class several times. In third quarter, she listened to instructions, checked out and read books, participated in Book Madness and was one of the first students to complete the 3d print project!

John and Zachary have both improved a ton since the beginning of the year. Both are really successful in art now and respond to redirection and praise

Koral has been working so hard on managing her emotions and being able to regulate her anxiety. Every day hasn’t been perfect, but she has gotten to a point where she is able to take walk breaks to reset her brain and will reformulate questions to ask without sounding whiny. She has grown so much this year and I’m super proud of her!

Bianca Boldt has been a huge success story this year! This is her very first year in public school, and she came in with high anxiety, very low self confidence. She has grown so much by using positive self-talk, working to understand those around her, and intentionally pre-setting herself before fielding difficult situations, such as group work. I’m SO proud of her! ❤️

In my short time with Mrs. Kahmann class, Hudson had shown great improvement with me as a sub! He was very hesitant at first, but is already showing his leadership side and using his strategies that you can tell he has learned this year! 🩷

My favorite success story has been with a specific 4th grade kid who came into music not excited about the musical/performing. He had zero interest of it in the past, & I could tell it was because he did not believe he could do it. Later, I got to watch this student be one of the brightest stars in the musical! It has become his safe space to express himself, & the smiles he brings to music this semester compared to last are priceless. Getting him to believe in himself will always be a special moment for me!

I am especially proud of the growth John Rodriguez has made this year. He is so kind and supportive to his classmates. He works well in small group with his teacher and wants to do well. He has a big heart and I am hopeful his successes carry on to Union Chapel next year!

Zachary has made growth in his self-esteem this year. Going into this year, he wanted to be alone and work in small spaces while using negative self-talk continuously. He now works successfully in a group and uses coping strategies such as asking for a break or asking politely for some time to himself. He has many friends and sounds like he has a better outlook on himself!

Caleb B. Has really taken the initiative in his own learning. He is so excited to come to school and soak up all the information! Gittemeier’s executive functioning group has really done great for him!

In the short time I have had with my students, I feel like I have built positive relationships with those that had a hard time with the transition. Specifically Jordan Hurde. He was having a really hard time with the new teacher transitions and the expectations I had, and now we are understanding of each other and way more successful in our classroom!

Tyler has learned to regulate his emotions and be more respectful to peers and adults. He has a system for self-monitoring his own emotions and whether he is completing his work within a given time frame. Also, he has a visual break schedule on my desk that he utilizes often when he needs a break based on his emotional state. His hugs are the very best!!!

I am really proud of the growth that Maijor has had this year! He can now accept redirection without shutting down and he is able to have a more positive mindset when reflecting on his day and setting goals for the next one. He has come so far and really wants to do good and make others proud.

Colin has come along way!!! He does need lots of reminders but he’s starting to complete work and making connections with the whole class!

Rae had a difficult first few months academically, but has received outside tutoring as well as small groups at school. I’ve seen so much improvement in her so far this year- academically and socially. Love seeing her reach new heights each day!

During the middle of 3rd quarter Kendrick was really struggling with behavior in the classroom. Implementing a sticker chart and social story has helped him be successful with 2 reminders and such a difference has been noted. The tier 2 tool box was so helpful with this!

Ny’Ric!!!!!!! Has made leaps and bounds of growth from transitioning mid kindergarten and working through emotional struggles. He has made some great relationships with staff and students and I feel that he trusts us now. He worked intensively through a chart which he has graduated from and getting better and better every day. Love my little papa! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Shoutout to Levi for working so hard on his letter sounds! He now knows them all and is starting to stretch out his sounds to read and write words—way to go, Levi! Mrs. Martinez is so proud of your growth!

Levi has shown some great growth with being able to sound out and write words independently. I am so proud of the improvement he has shown. Previously he would automatically look at the teacher for help and say random letters.

Leo has become an independent guy, he has become less frustrated with work over the year and starting to work on grade level skills.

I love seeing how far Izzy has come this year with her behavior. She is using her calm down strategies when she gets frustrated and is talking about what upsets her instead of screaming. So much amazing growth.

I’m so proud of Alex! He has worked so hard academically and socially! We have celebrated all of his success which has brought a smile to his face (which is not an easy task)! He has made some friends and soared on his testing! I’m so excited for his journey next year at his new school! His confidence and self esteem has been amazing to watch grow all year ❤️

My friend Ava has excelled at sitting in her seat, being a productive class member, and a kind friend! I really have noticed huge improvements in the last month! Great job, Ava!

Tristan has come a long way with his reading abilities and continues to grow. Zachary has grown so much over the course of this year---I have seen his leadership and mentorship skills bud during our K3 Social Skills Groups every Friday, demonstrating turn-taking skills, game play, ability to lose a game and be o.k. about it, etc. He does amazing with this showing the youngers how to do it. Lyla has made strides academically in reading and writing as well as developing socially with her peers (with some room to grow, of course ;)) Arthur has grown so much this year and is continuing to make progress with his language/communication skills among peers and teachers and learning the social cues around him. Reading a lot of these success stories warms my heart to see the gains they've made this year--not only in my eyes but in other's eyes, too!
