Support Ms. Solis' classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are currently second graders, living right in the heart of Los Angeles. Many of them are recent immigrant families living in a very economically disadvantaged neighborhood. They are all second language learners. Some of these families actually speak indigenous languages. This often presents an even greater challenge because parents cannot provide academic support even in Spanish. The families I work with often have to work two shifts to provide for their families. Some of these families live together to help each other with the rent. They are very loving parents and try to provide for their children the best they can, but it is very difficult earning very low wages from the local downtown garment district. Children have some trouble acquiring the language and therefore need extra support and tutoring when learning English. But when it comes to math and science, they can be amazing! When students get tested for gifted program, this is where their strength comes in!
