Somewhere along the way, there was a hole and the hole seems to keep getting bigger. The hole is the gap that my students have when it comes to making the connection with comprehension. My students are mixed in race in which some are Vietnamese, Haitian-Creole, Cuban, and American. Most of them, their first language is not English and they are struggling with the transition of moving to a foreign place and learning a new language. Several of the parents have either been migrant workers or have experienced certain hardships (financially) and have been moving from place to place. My school is a Title I school where over 90% of them receive free or reduced lunches. The area is one where the parents are trying so hard to meet the basic needs of their kids (working and providing shelter and food) that they seldom have the time to work with them on their homework or even ask, "How was your day?" When the children come home from school, the older siblings are usually in charge.
