The majority of the students come from impoverished families and receive free and reduce lunch. Most of my parents work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. I have very low parental involvement. Most parents speak Spanish, and the majority of the students enter kindergarten not prepared. They lack both social and academic skills. In spite of their hardships, the students are sweet. Most of them are motivated to learn and are proud of themselves when they learn a new concept. The majority of my students try hard but some of them are not able to grasp the concepts which make them more vulnerable to achieve than others. I make my classroom a fun learning environment since many parents do not have time to provide their children with real-world experiences such as going to museums, zoo or the library. I constantly incorporate technology, field trips, and hands on learning in all my activities.
