My kindergarteners are very mature six year olds . They are funny,inquisitive and natural observers. Many are very independent because they help out at home with their smaller brothers and sisters. Many of my kindergarteners are extremely organized, focused, and born leaders but do not enter kindergarten knowing their alphabets or sounds. The issue is not that they are not capable of learning their alphabets; but many parents not all in the area think that school is where all their child's learning takes place.It is important to change this perception. Home is where everything begins and ends. My students' school demographics are 99.9% African American and at-risk for failing. 99% of the students receive free and reduced lunches. My students' pride and joy is their neighborhood school. They would stay all day if it was possible. The school is a home away from home. My Kindergarteners are eager to learn and try anything new and giggle through the whole process.
