Welcome to Week 21!
I hope you all had a great Week 20. Thanks for everything that you do. Remember that consistency is the key. Build relationships and set clear expectations for your students.
Hummingbird Class of the Week
Hummingbird Staff of the Week
Ms. Cavazos actually wanted to steer as far away from a career in education as possible because she always saw her mother work so hard. "I will never work that hard," she'd always say. However, after many years in the medical field, the call to teaching struck her like a bolt of lightening.
Ms. Cavazos's family keeps her honest and her nieces and nephews inspire her to be a better person, worker, and friend. She has a lot of songs on her "you can do it!" playlist that inspire her as well: Give It All You Got (Chuck Mangione), I Gotta Believe (Yolanda Adams), Pressure (Billy Joel), and Whenever God Shines His Light (Van Morrison), just to name a few. Introspective and uplifting!
Congratulations to Ms. Cheng our TOY
