Spotlight On Our Student Emir

Emir (Grade 2) is an intrinsically motivated learner, kind friend, and all around wonderful student. Even though Emir is in Grade 2, he continues to share his time and energy helping in Grade 1.

Emir was in Ms. Insells Writing Club last year and was invited to come back this year to help inspire the first graders – and even to write himself. He eagerly accepted this invitation and willingly gives up his play time every Tuesday afternoon to come and support our first graders with their writing. This passion for learning and dedication to being a kind member of the ISR community is commendable!
