My third graders are an amazing group of active, talented scholars. The school they attend is a charter school located in a low income community. The school has been on "lock down" on occasion due to violence in the neighborhood. There have been homicides near the school and many of the students hear gun shots near their homes. Regardless of their environment they are eager to learn but sometimes the lack of background knowledge makes learning more difficult. My students do not have a lot of exposure outside of the inner city, especially related to the arts.
