My class consists of 20 bright and friendly children. They put in a lot of effort in the classroom and are very energetic. They enjoy laughing and participating in the conversations that take place concerning the day’s lesson or their own interests. Most students in my class are Latinos from low-income homes. As a result, many of the students live in dangerous neighborhoods where the simple pleasure of playing outside of their own home is denied to them. The only time they are able to exercise and play with other children is at recess. This is not nearly enough exercise. And because of school budget cuts, our school does not have the privilege to purchase additional equipment for the playground much less equipment for dance and movement.
