Since I started there, I have felt so welcomed by my school community. Our students and their families give feedback when things aren't working. Our students ask incredible questions and are comfortable sharing their mistakes and taking risks.

I think I am an asset to my students because I believe their opinions matter. I build a space for them to take risks and to let me know what they think. I incorporate their suggestions when I can. I am an asset to my school because I am positive and high energy. I throw myself into projects I'm passionate about (Earth Day and school plays).

"Isn't that so cool?" is a frequent thing you'll hear in my classroom.]]> 2021-03-19 00:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/dt74qc9ma99xnfep/wish/1328071894 Individual/Collective Assets https://padlet.com/SJCCook/dt74qc9ma99xnfep/wish/1328072109 1.
