My classroom is full of students from the poorest of neighborhoods, where life always a struggle. My students are always friendly, well mannered, and as positive are they could be! My school is an inner-city school where crime is more common then not. We have bullet holes in the windows, police are always present in the halls, and fighting among students is a way of life. Considering what type of home environment my students have I have one rule: always getting a hug when you start the day, always get a hug when your finish the day. Most of my students do not receive affection at home, and knowing that I am able to warm their hearts just a little is an amazing feeling. My classroom is their safe haven, sanctuary, and calm down room. I can honestly say that will all of the things my students go through at home; drugs, fighting, prostitute, guns, gangs, drug deals, etc. they come into my classroom and are grounded, level headed, and the sunshine of my day : )
