Welcome to my classroom! My school community is culturally diverse and very transitional. Many of my 4th and 5th grade students have already lost count of how many schools they have attended. For many of them, the classroom is the only safe and loving environment that they can rely on. As a fairly new teacher, I have very few classroom resources other than what has been given to me by other teachers.
