Most of my students come from low socioeconomic home environments and the public housing project. Many of these students come to school not ready to learn because their basic needs have not been met before coming to school. This hinders the students from being active learners; which creates a challenging task for the students to get homework done and find after school assistance at home. Most of our students are on free lunch services and participate in a backpack program, which provides the students with food items for the weekend. Even with those struggles students are expected to go to school, meet state standards and pass standardized test. In our schools the students have a full day of reading, math, science, and social science. Teaching them Spanish can be challenging at times because of the high learning demand and academic goals that need to be met. Making these lessons exciting with different tools and visual aids is very important to keep the students engaged.
