My students come from low income/poverty level homes. The English language isn't always their first language. They lack social skills because most of them have never been to school before. These student come in with a lower end prior knowledge base because of lack of exposure to their education. Most of these students are consistently told at home that school is not something they can be good at, due to a diagnoses of some sort and/or the lack of resources/information given to their parents. Once parents see that there is someone who can help their child it changes everything for them. They want to participate. They want to learn how to help their child. The parent begins to work with us. More importantly, the child begins to learn! I want this year to be the year that changes their lives (both parent and child building towards a better community) and gives them the encouragement they need to start a life long goal of learning! Generations return to this school. I am a living example!
