We are a class of 28 second graders with inquiring minds and a great passion to learn. My wonderful students walk into our classroom every day very eager to learn, and I am very eager to teach these young children. Our amazing school is located in Bayside, Queens where the population of students is very diverse. They all come from very hard working families that contribute as much as they can and do so much to be involved in their child's education. Our school's budget is very tight, therefore, we all try to contribute as much as we can.
