FLIP into the future...My classroom is creative and warm invoking a feeling of family where students feel comfortable to express themselves without feeling nervous or unsupported. I am a fourth grade teacher in an extremely low socio-economic area in California. We are a public school that wears a uniform, because families want to help defer gang color clothing affiliation and save them money. My school services students that receive free and reduced breakfast and lunch, 98% of the students are on this program. We are a title I school with limited resources available to us, especially in the next years with California's budget issues. This coming year we are increasing class size and reducing many programs and resources. Of all schools, students at this type of school are being hit the hardest. There is LITTLE to NO funding for the ARTS programs.
