We interviewed Ms. Vanriper and how she made a billboard about her class and how they act like GEMS .  She told us about how they behaved, and how they started out rough at the beginning of the year and how they were getting better and better. She told us about how they help each other out with writing essays and how they show compassion to each other.  Ms Vanriper is a great teacher and has been teaching for 10 years.
