My students live in southern California. They attend a school where a high percentage of them are (LEP Students: Limited English speakers.)The majority of them come from single parent families. Many of them live in a garage, rent a room, or share a house with another family. All of the students in my classroom are students that have scored below and far below basics in language arts and math. They are wonderful kids, and in these four months they have gained so much confidence. For example, when they first came to my class, they did not like reading,(That is because they were struggling in reading, not because they hated it.)I bought the whole series of Junie B. Jones and now most of them take a different book home everyday. During parent conferences one of the most popular comments from the parents was. "I don't have to force my child to read anymore." I can only imagine what those children will tell their parents when they begin to explore in their computers. How exciting!
