I am a first grade teacher in an high-poverty neighborhood in Bridgeport, CT. All of my students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Many of my students speak a language other than English in home. I strive to make my classroom a safe and enjoyable "home" for my firsties. I believe that a child's emotional growth and well-being is just as important- sometimes more- than academic growth. In my room we love reading, playing, learning, and making friends.
