Our Classroom Rules(otherwise known as "Great Expectations")

1. Be responsible. 2. Respect yourself and others at all times. 3. Act with integrity. 4. Give your best effort at all times in everything you do! 

 

The fine print...

          

As additional procedures become necessary, I will share them with you!

We will practice each new procedure and I will make sure you understand what is expected!

"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."

"Successful people aren't born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don't like to do. The successful people don't always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them."         

Our Greatest Fear Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,

talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? 

You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other  people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory ofGod that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other peoplepermission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson
