Class of the Week:
The Class of the Week is first grade, second class! 1-2 was my very first 1st grade class this year and the students were all so sweet! I loved how enthusiastic and excited they were to speak English. Even though I was a new teacher to them, they were not shy about asking questions and using their English skills. Altogether, I think this class has a great personality and I am so happy to be your teacher--I had a great time. Thank you!
