Welcome to Ms. Totten's class! Thank you for stopping by to learn more about our classroom and what amazing activities we are doing! My classroom is comprised of 24 precious students who come to school eager and excited each and every day despite many of them suffering hunger, severe poverty, and difficult home situations. We have worked hard to create a family of learners, and it is evident in everything they do. They inspire me every single day! My students have an infectious desire to learn, but simply lack the materials needed to practice the many skills we are learning each and every day. Our inner city school is one of the largest in the state, with over half the classrooms outside in mobile classrooms.
