I teach twenty five seven year olds at an International Baccalaureate. The majority of my students are on free and reduced lunch and many are second language learners. They not only are low income but come from homes that are "broken" where they have been traumatized from drug use, parents incarcerated, victims of crime, or worst. When students come to school with the trauma they see at home, they often suffer from anxiety, stress, fear, anger, etc, and it makes it difficult to focus on school work. Therefore, my goal is to try to make it a fun, safe place to come and play and learn.
