19 of my students are spending their 2nd year with me. They have become critical thinkers, independent and energetic learners. My students are eager learners with multiple learning styles. My learners are not just bodies at a desk. They are bodies and minds on the go and on the move. They are students who will find a personalized learning space away from their desk (a fluffy pillow, stretched out on the floor or carpet, sitting on lawn chairs, ottoman, or cushioned chair). Some students are verbal and will ask to read what they discovered aloud to peers. Learners will utilize technology to research or type poems or narratives to share with other "dreamers" of our classroom. Learners have a plan and a mission and will complete the task when ever and where ever. They are helpful towards their peers. My school is located on the south side of Chicago. We are surrounded by gun violence, gangs, abandoned buildings, and drugs. We are a feeder for three homeless shelters within the community.
