Mrs. Schiffman’s Classroom Edit display name

When I started teaching in my school 17 years ago, dynamics were different. As the years have gone by, we have been forced to change to help the changing population. My students qualify for my class if they have never been to preschool, cannot write their names, and don't know the ABC's or 123's. They test for the lowest of the low. My job is challenging and I love it! I love seeing the glimmer in their eyes when they finally understand the language, know what you want, and can do it! My students, by the end of the year, have test scores that pass their peers. They can read speak English and write. They go home and teach their siblings and their parents what they learn at school. You are not only teaching a child, you are teaching a family.
