Our school has approximately 500 learners from kindergarten to sixth grade. As a reading specialist, I work primarily with learners with emerging literacy skills. Regardless of their reading level these kids love all genres of books: picture books, graphic novels, non-fiction texts and literature. My students come from a variety of iconic and cultural backgrounds and over 60% receive free and reduced lunch. In recent years, we have a growing population of learners who have emigrated form Mexico, Puerto Rico, India and other countries. It amazes me how quickly they learn the English language! We attempt to level the playing field for our under-resourced learners with technology and community supports. All students participate in a STEM programs where they learn how create and problem-solve while integrating science, technology, engineering and math.
