Hello Everyone

I heard about your story from my professor at Cal State University Dominguez Hills located in Carson, CA.  I just finished looking at your classes website and I am extremely proud of your 5th grade class and your teacher.  As the school year is coming to an end, are you going to a new school?  You must be very proud of yourselves for all the hard work you have put into something you care deeply about. 

I work as an aid in a 5th grade classroom in Gardena,CA and I cant wait to share with them what other 5th graders are doing across the country.  Luckily, our principal has put in long hours getting money for improving the school.  But Im sure my 5th graders will be amazed at what hard work you all are doing-it may even motivate them to do something to help out!

When I read stories such as these it reminds me that there still is that joy that only a teacher can receive.  In todays world of teaching, I often hear teachers complain of the monotony of the classroom environment and how there is no fun, excitement or enjoyment in teaching anymore.  After reading Room 405's story, I know that this is not true and I can't wait to have my own classroom so I can motivate my students to stand up and do something.

Keep up the Good Work!!!!
