I teach kindergarten at a Title 1 school. My students live in a high poverty, low income area. All of them receive free lunch. They are all English language learners. For some of them, this is their very first school experience. My kids are very eager to learn. Research tells us that students lives are enriched when they are read to. Unfortunately, most of my students are not afforded this opportunity at home. As much as we do in the classroom, I would like to offer them more.
