The two fourth grade homerooms that I teach are comprised of 48 energetic, enthusiastic, bilingual students in Wilmington, Delaware. 73% of the students at our school come from low-income households, and slightly more than half are English language-learners. Our school is small, serving roughly 470 students in grades K-5.
Each day, my students greet me with hugs, smiles, and eagerness to learn. Almost all of the students I teach have attended the dual language program at my school since Kindergarten. They spend half of each school day learning English language arts and social studies in my classroom, and the other half learning math, science and Spanish language arts in my partner teacher's classroom, in which all instruction is in Spanish.
