“  My favorite thing about teaching is all the fun things I get to incorporate with my lessons. I love to dress up in costumes, add food to my math lessons, or just be silly with them to get my students excited for school everyday. mCLASS allows me to be accountable with my students and see their growth during BOY, MOY, and EOY. I will strive to make sure I can get them on grade level...This also helps decide how I can create my small groups. After I interpret the data, I make my groups by which skills similar students need more help with. ”
