My students are up for a challenge. They love tech and wanted to try my iPad. They all waited patiently to draw the background of a CRPBIS poster I was creating for our school... what's cool is that they helped create it! We are an urban school poverty rate and the homeless rates are high. Education is low on the list of most families so my goal is to do what I can to get them where they need to be so they can make it through to the next grade. This is the first year that the maturity level and grade level of 5th grade are not present. It is more like we are teaching 2nd graders, and it is sad what the pandemic and lack of parenting have done to most of these children.
