Support Mrs. Vaughn's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are absolutely amazing! Most of my students live in poverty, and my school is over 90% minority. They are very energetic and loving. My students want desperately to please adults, and they work very hard for their teacher because it's what I demand and expect daily. My students come to school with very limited vocabulary and exposure to anything to do with education. They also come with a different set of values, since many of them are from impoverished communities. As a teacher, I walk a fine line of respecting the rules and norms their mother and/or father has established, and yet explaining to them that they must follow a separate set of rules while in school. I am a firm believer that all students can learn, and my students prove to me year after year that they are more than capable of doing just that!
