I teach in the inner city of New York. My student population is very diverse with many low income families. My parents work hard, but purchasing basic school supplies is not easy for many of them. Many of my students excel in math but struggle in literacy, so we work really hard at our school to improve our students literacy skills. Students have a day crammed full of core subjects like reading, math, science and social studies. I have the privilege of teaching one of the few electives in my school, and students love the chance to be creative. Many students struggle in most of their classes but really excel at art. Art allows students to shine even if they are not great readers or excellent mathematicians. I really enjoy fostering creativity and watching my students express themselves through art.
