My students are full of personality and leave me in stitches almost everyday. They are full of curiosity and energy which transitions nicely to their academics. They enjoy soccer, four corners and boggle for their brain breaks. We are one of three 5th grade classes at our school with 34 students in each class. Our school is in East Oakland with approximately 99% of students on the free or reduced price lunch program.
