My student photo wall! Inspired by @mrronclark_ and @TheLeaderinMe students took a picture that fits their personality and created a mission statement for the year. We also created a class mission statement and all the students signed it. ❤️#lovekids#family@CaprockES
There are those who go looking for fault. They are waiting for a mistake; hoping for a misstep and ready to pounce.

A2: We also are working on learning that the opposite of success is quitting, not failure. Failing is just realizing what doesn't work, so we try again.
