I teach 6th grade Mathematics and Science at a low income city school. We are a Title 1 school and the students receive a free breakfast and lunch daily. Many of our students are economically disadvantaged and are raised by extended family. My students come to school each day eager to learn and I am eager to teach. Since I teach in a city school where budgets and funding are extremely tight and I try to give my students everything they need to succeed. Education changes from year to year and I want to students to be able to keep up with the rigor that they deserve.
