I am an ENL Kindergarten teacher, in a dual language program, in a Title 1 school, in Queens, NY. I have the opportunity to teach 50 energetic learners who are always eager to learn and push themselves to reach their personal best. My students enjoy Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Science and Math! Many of them are being raised in single parent households and 98% of our school gets free. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
