Having someone who is always there and involved can be a tall order in my district. Single parenthood is the norm, and about 12% of the children under age 5 are living in poverty. In my school building, 83% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunches and breakfasts. My children come to me from many different places, and my program meets the needs of families who are living in poverty, have a child with a speech or language delay, behavior disorder or suspected disability. The goals of my program are to promote an educational link between home and school, increase graduation rates, and meet the needs of learners who have been identified as "at risk." Every day I have the opportunity to work with "my kids," and once a month I have this chance with families. Each month families come in for a literacy activity. During this time I teach them literacy skills like how to read with their child, how to interact positively and how important they are as their child's "first teacher."
