My students are urban kids who come from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds- Egyptian, Kurdish, Mexican, Iranian, Middle Eastern, El Salvadorian, African American, Vietnamese, Caucasian, Somalian, and many more. We pride ourselves in our sense of unity and classroom diversity. We practice acceptance and tolerance and love to rearrange the desks to fit our particular needs for an activity, which include small groups, rows, large groups, and discussion circles. We have practiced and can change from one to another in about 30 seconds. Our school has about 95% of students living below the poverty line, and many of our school facilities are older. We do our best to keep it clean, and might even get four computers for our classroom this year! However, many of my students do not have places to play at home or neighbors that they can play with. We use our classroom as a fluid space to learn and grow together. Movement is so important to my students, many of whom are kinesthetic learners.
