First grade is an important time in a child's life...it's when children are exposed to many different activities, ideas, and concepts. So many new ideas, subjects, people, and friends can become quite overwhelming for first graders. It's the job of a first grade teacher to ensure that every single child in the class is challenged academically while at the same time promoting self esteem and confidence. This is no small task given the range of talents and backgrounds in the classroom. Every year, over 75% of my students are English language learners; students are of Asian or Hispanic descent; The majority of the students at our school receive free / reduced lunch. It's my job to ensure that each child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
