My students are characters! They have very unique and interesting personalities. There is never a dull moment in our room! They love to read and learn! We foster this as much as we can at school, but when most of them go home, it's a different story. We live in a very small rural town in south central Iowa. We are part of a county, town, and district that tends to struggle financially. In our district, teachers have learned that grants can be our best friends (IF we get them)! Although our town struggles, it exceeds expectations with the sense of community it offers. They try to provide the kids with as many opportunities as possible and do an excellent job in doing so. Along with that our district also tries to provide our students with learning opportunities when outside of school as well. Most of our students don't have a lot of reading materials at home. Most of our students are only seeing print while in school. So, we try to have them read any and everything we can!
