It is such a pleasure to work with students who love to learn. Elijah, D'Neya, Preston, and Ameer are the kind of students who takes the initiative when it comes to learning. They ask for extra homework, borrow books to read at home, and they create their own math problems when they have completed their assignments. If you walk into my classroom, you will find these students engaged and on task. There is no doubt in my mind that these four has a great future before them.
