My happy moment for today came from a VERY reluctant reader who has been in a tier III reading class with me since January. "Mrs. Komp, this is the first book I've ever read and, like, paid attention. It's so good! I need a bookmark!" ❤️❤️❤️

Such a fun morning with these awesome girls! 🎉

Nothing like a good ol' recess in 7th grade 🌞 Amy Walker

Every year the kids' school has a ceremony for the top two writers from each class, and this year, BOTH of the Komps will receive the honor! 🎉 One earned honorable mention, and the other got the top award. Sooooo incredibly proud of these amazing authors!! ❤️

Students work hardest for teachers who believe in them, support them, and genuinely care. Adults are no different. That’s why it’s always relationships before rigor.
