I have 24 very motivated and eager learners in my first and second grade classroom. They are hard working, fun-loving, good-natured, and they enjoy one another's company. Unfortunately, many of my students' families have been severely affected by Michigan's high unemployment rate and are living in impoverished conditions. Students are living with extended family in tiny homes, homelessness is on the rise, and these students have few possessions they can call their own. Despite the difficulties at home, they enter our classroom ready to take on the world and soak up any knowledge I can help provide.
