My Second grade students come from an urban low SES Hispanic community in South LA. 92% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. My students range in reading levels from beginning K to being on grade level. The majority of our students families speak Spanish at home, therefore as educators we have to be very strategic and innovative with our pedagogical practices. Our school is focused on creating inquiry based experiences for students to add to their funds of knowledge,(student centered) and equip them with more visuals/reference tools so that they can find the answers and investigate for themselves versus drilling and teaching to the test. For many of our students school is the only consistent thing in their lives, some come from single family households or have never met their fathers'. At times their situations can be most depressing, but they count on us to ensure that they will attend college someday, and we are here to fulfill that promise to them.
