My classroom is 80% English Language Learners. Many of my students are still not able to read all the letter sounds. So, I know we have a lot of work to do. Many of these students come from low income families that make a living as farm workers. The parents have little, or no education. However, these families are very supportive in their child's education and want their child to succeed in school. The school is a small school that has about 22 teachers. The students are made up of middle class and low income families. The school has lost a lot of parent involvement because some middle class families have chosen a different school for their child. The principal and teachers are working hard to bring back parent involvement and bring unity to this community to help our kids learn and have pride in their school and education.
