Each quarter I have my students set goals. They can be academic or personal. This quarter, with the New Year upon us, we are doing a Vision board bingo game! Why not reach for the stars and play a game at the same time? @SaralandMiddle @SaralandSchools

I’m going to miss these kids next semester! We had a celebration in reading lab today to celebrate their hard work! They leave me next semester for another elective and it won’t be the same without em! @SaralandSchools @SaralandMiddle

My students took a trip around the world yesterday and learned about holiday traditions in 12 different countries. This is always such a fun lesson! 🦌🎄🙌🏻🤶🏻🎅🏻 @SaralandSchools @SaralandMiddle
