California is a wonderful state, but the budget is anything but wonderful. We have less money to spend on enrichment and updating the classroom environment. This year in my public Kindergarten I have more 4 year olds than ever before, most likely as a result of the economy. I have 1/5 of my class that speaks little English and a special needs child. We are a middle class community, but we are seeing more financial distress than ever before. These children are as diverse as can be, but all with the same amazing potential to learn. Their bodies are little, but their minds and imaginations are large!
