I teach reading and writing to an amazing group of 5th grade students. They are such eager learners and love to explore and see how literacy can be applied to their daily lives. Even with their will and drive to learn, my students are from an extremely low-income, urban neighborhood. This means there is little to no funding for any materials or experiences outside of the district-mandated curriculum and textbooks. Their circumstances and the neighborhood where they live unfortunately get in the way of their access to many of the materials that would make the learning "real-life" and applicable for them.
