I have a classroom with 20 energetic and charismatic 3rd graders.I work at an inner-city school.The area where my students reside come from a very transient population.Many of the parents at our school work very hard to maintain having the bare necessities.Changing homes throughout the year or even not having a place to call home are some of the challenges my students experience,which is why they see coming to school as a safe environment where they are all loved and given confidence on a day to day basis.Regardless of the hardships these students face at home,every one of my students enters the classroom with a smile and willingness to learn new things. They know that I will not change as their teacher for I want to ensure that each of my students is loved and will be motivated to work at their full potential.
