As 8th graders, my students enter my classroom at a critical point in their education: the step right before high school. This is a year to solidify positive and constructive habits and mindsets. I am always impressed by my students' ability to question others and speak up for what they believe. By age fourteen my students are becoming very aware of their own experiences and the experiences of their community. The majority of students at our school are English language learners, and all students receive free lunch. My students work to develop skills and understanding in language arts and history so that they can use this knowledge to advocate for themselves in their learning journeys as well as for their families and community. Our classroom is a space of inquiry, discussion, acceptance, and creativity... even on the not-so-good days we remember our shared purpose. My students are my reason for being an educator!
