Every day when I walk into my classroom I get asked a million and one questions. Curiosity is rampant throughout our class and our school. My student's inquiring minds lead them to ask questions that would be better answered through experience. Being an active, and very talkative bunch, my kids are always ready to take on a challenge and engage in conversation with others. However, they struggle to see others' opinions and be open-minded. I believe the more they are challenged by people outside of their normal beliefs, the more they will learn. With many of my students coming from poverty they do not get the chance to interact with people from different cultures.
5th grade is a challenging year, and I know that many of my students have had struggles in their lives far beyond anything I could have imagined a ten year old going through. Still my students face the odds and work hard to not only please their teacher and their classmates, but more importantly make themselves proud.
