Come into Mrs. Lee’s classroom anytime and you’ll likely hear a Rebecca or Sophia story. Who are Rebecca and Sophia? They are Mrs. Lee’s two little girls. While several stories are meant as breaks to the daily routine, there are quite a few that are used to help the students see themselves as role models and advocates for their own educational experience. Something that is extremely important to Mrs. Lee is that each student takes charge of his/her own learning both academically and personally. Two things you’ll hear quite often in Mrs. Lee’s classroom are, “Dig deeper!” and “Academics will always come. What I want is for you to walk out of my classroom as good people.” It is from these that Mrs. Lee strives to foster independence and the intrinsic desire to always do ones best.
