I teach two third grade classes. My students are both special needs and regular education students who attend a public school in a very low socio-economic neighborhood. They are served free breakfast every morning and many of them receive free lunch. They are not afforded the many opportunities that other students experience daily in their lives because their parents are working over 40 hours a week in low income jobs. School supplies are lacking and reading at home is very difficult and sometimes non-existent for many of my students because they do not have books and their parents are not literate.
I have students ranging in ages from 7-9, with reading levels that range from Pre Primer to third grade.
