I am a kindergarten teacher to 24 five and six year olds. They all come from low income backgrounds in which they receive free or reduced lunch. We are a very diverse classroom including Caucasian, African American, and multiracial. The school that we are in is very diverse as well, holding many ESL and refugee students. As a whole, our entire school serves a majority of students from low income households. I have a very active, yet inquisitive group of 14 boys and 9 girls. They love to learn, ask questions, and participate in anything hands-on. Their favorite time of the day is center time when they get to be themselves and socialize with their peers. This is a very important time for them. I have to say, this is a wonderful and witty group of students that I care about a lot.
