It is the first day of school! Students are exciting about wearing their new outfits or uniforms, breaking the seal of their new notebooks, and showing off their new lunch boxes. Some students may not be able to relate to this experience. They may only have access to used clothing, they may not have new school supplies, and they may have to participate in the free lunch program provided by the school. As the teacher, it is our responsibility to not only treat every student equally, but establish an environment where all students treat each other with respect. How can I do this in a challenged socio-economic community where students worry about their next meal or having a writing utensil instead of learning? With YOUR help.
