Every student is unique, and some may have different learning needs. I make sure that I cater to the needs of each student by using differentiated instruction. This means that I modify my teaching methods to suit their learning style, pace, and ability.

Teaching fifth-grade English has been a learning experience for me too. I have learned a lot from my students. They have taught me patience, perseverance, and creativity. They have also given me a new perspective on life.
