I have a good bunch of students in my class this year. I have 24 students in my fourth grade class, and I teach at a Title I school where most of the kids are on free or reduced lunch. They come from all different backgrounds from being well off with parents living at home with them to some kids who are not sure which parent they are going to be living with and where they might be moving to next week. There is also a wide range of students in my class as well. I have kids that are very smart and pick up on everything I say, to students who cannot repeat what I just said. But they all are good kids that need to be pushed in the right direction.
