My students come from less than desirable circumstances. Most do not have money to buy necessary school supplies such as pencils, erasers, crayons, etc. Funding is limited in our district and we have 40 schools that need to share what little is available. Last year our school ran out of money in January and teachers were not given copy paper, writing paper, or any other needed materials for the rest of the year. It was the students who suffered. Students in our school come into kindergarten already behind. Last year, I had some students who did not know their last names. Most of the time my students are only exposed to educational materials at school. They need different ways to learn like music, hands on materials, and other creative activities.
