I am a Kindergarten teacher in an integrated co-teaching setting with a class that includes students with and without special needs. Our school is located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It is an ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood and have a large population of English language learners who are new to the country. Despite these challenges, my students are enthusiastic, inquisitive, and determined to learn each year. This is my ninth year teaching at PS 126 and having grown up across the street, I enjoy being able to give back to and make a difference in my community.
