🌟 Tiger Spotlight: Honoring Self-Directed Learners at LWJE! 🌟
October was all about self-direction at LWJE, where students stepped up to take charge of their learning and personal growth with focus and responsibility. With "SELF-DIRECT" as our Word of the Month, students embraced opportunities to show initiative and responsibility in their daily learning.
At the end of the month, each teacher recognized one outstanding student who truly embodied the self-directed spirit. Let's celebrate our October Students of the Month for showing us what it means to lead your own learning!
