My students regularly deal with trauma in many forms: poverty, homelessness, hunger, abuse, imprisonment of family members, etc. Their young minds often find it difficult to concentrate on their studies for any length of time. All of my students qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. Often, school meals are the only food they eat in a day. Concentration and putting forth the energy needed for learning is difficult, although they are curious. My students crave new experiences and information. My students like to experiment with different types of technology and media. I love watching them make connections in our ELA center activities.
