Way to Go Raul!!!!

As a class we have done some very fun Science projects lately.
The first was each student needed to replicate a huge flower on a poster board and name each part. The projects turned out beautifully as each student then decorated their flower with colored textures. I was very proud of them. :)

One student in particular really impressed me this week and his effort was an answer to prayer.
Raul is a very sweet student, but he becomes very distracted and does not complete his work in class. He loves to play, but seems very unmotivated to learn. Although his father is a doctor, he does  not have a mother involved in his life and his father is at the hospital until very late at night. This results in Raul not turning in his homework and he has been failing most of his classes.
However, we have been praying to see change in him and we have been encouraging him and supporting him with new strategies to learn while in school.

With this project, he put so much time and effort. He created his own flower out of wire, paint, paper towels, and yarn. What a masterpiece! I couldn't have been more proud to see this change in his demeanor and his enthusiasm  to learn, especially because this work was done at home.
Way to Go Raul!!!!!
