I will start by saying my kids are amazing and I want to do everything I can to help them succeed! We are an urban district and we have over 90% of our students on free and reduced lunch. Many students begin school with no prior education at all. Our kindergarten students are already behind when they walk in the door on their first day. We also have students who move in and out of our school frequently. Our student population grew by 100 students just this school year. Despite the disadvantages many of my students face, they are genuinely great kids. These kids just need extra time and attention to help them make the academic gains neccesary to be successful. The most important and enjoyable part of my job is intervening with students. Getting to know each student and what motivates them is especially important.
