My students have many more challenges than most 6 or 7 year olds. Our school is located in a low income neighborhood, where 98% of the children have free or reduced breakfast and lunch. The neighborhood is in a challenging area where the children don't get to experience much outside of home and school. They don't have the opportunities to explore museums, national parks, mountains, oceans, aquariums etc. that most children have. Many of the children spend the entire day from 7 AM to 6 PM at school. Evan though they are faced with these challenges, they love school and are willing to work hard at school. My students are thriving on technology and there favorite subjects are math and science.
