My students attend a grades 3-5 school in a low wealth community in which over 65% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. The current economic crisis in America has taken its toll on our school in that we have experienced reduced funds in the last three fiscal years. The students in this community lack resources due to the decline in the agribusiness and boating industry which were major economic contributors to our families. Our students are impoverished in regards to what is happening in the world. Many of them have not traveled out of our community or our state and have not seen other people and places. They lack background knowledge and experiences in order to make global connections.
