Students with big personalities and smiles are what I see each morning when my students walk into my classroom. My school is in Ward 8 in Southeast Washington D.C. and about 30% of our schools students are living in shelters, transitional housing or doubled-up housing. While each student comes from a variety of different home and each student has a unique story but at school we are all equal, all the same, and all ready to learn.
My students have shown me how even the youngest of learners can build valuable friendships and a great sense of community within a classroom. As the school year continues, we are all working together to close the achievement gap, exceed expectations, and overcome any difficulty we face together as a team.
