Second-grade classrooms with students from low-income backgrounds often require a high level of support to address a wide range of academic and social-emotional needs. Many low-income students start school behind their peers due to limited access to early childhood education and learning resources at home. Lack of exposure to books and limited language development at home can hinder reading proficiency, a foundational skill for academic success. Access to books, computers, reliable internet, and dedicated study spaces at home may be limited, impacting homework completion and learning opportunities. Hunger, lack of sleep, or a chaotic home environment can affect a child's ability to focus and learn in the classroom. The stresses of poverty, such as financial instability, housing uncertainty, or exposure to trauma, can manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, or withdrawal.
