My students live and attend my Special Education class in a low-income neighborhood. They come from a variety of familial backgrounds, including migrant families, foster families, and divided homes. My students are preschoolers with a variety of disabilities, ranging from mild to severe. They all love to play.
Many of my students come from homes that cannot provide them with the varied, hands-on, exploratory opportunities that are required for children to grow to their maximum potential. Some families I work with have two working parents who are not often able to play or speak with them. Others live in extremely impoverished homes with five to eight family members sharing a one bedroom apartment.
When they come to school, my students are ready to get to playing! The class I have now loves to read and listen to stories at circle time. They enjoy anything that they must build with or use imagination with. They love to sing with teachers and peers.
