Our classroom community consists of 24 wonderful, creative, and curious Kindergarteners. The students in my classroom are culturally and linguistically diverse. About 95% of my students are living in poverty. For the majority of my students, this is their first time in a school setting. In our community we nurture, support, and strengthen our relationships with one another in order to become productive and empathetic members of our society. It is also VERY important that while we are learning, we are also having fun!
