I have a class of 19 diverse children. Their ages are 5-6 years old. They are mostly children that their only sort of regulation or routine comes from their school environment. Some children are in before care from 7am and not picked up until 6pm. There are many that have had no previous exposure to other children, play,reading or many other things that children in more fortunate areas have been exposed to. It is very important to give these children the support and care needed in school. To make the classroom full, comfortable and enriched with learning materials is my goal.
