the next generation Loves Learning at Primer.
I like to come here because I get to do some work with my teacher. I just love them...they’re just so funny. I felt proud to do my work because I will get all my goals. I love coming here to see my friends and hug them.”

Grade: 4
um you are the best part of school.. you are the best teacher. When I got my goals because I know you tell me to lock in and I like to go to our school parties when I get all green it is just satisfying. You make me feel funny…and laughable. You make funny faces and laugh with us and it’s just a fun time with you. I felt proud when last year when I learned to get more focused on how to do the right thing and so I got more focused on my work this year. I can achieve my goals. Ms. Sams is fun and we all like being around you because you’re so silly and authentic. You do fun stuff with us and you also help us learn why it's important to do right and be truthful but you also make this less boring no matter what it is."
