My job and joy is to teach young citizens to be bilingual/biliterate. The school I work in is a BISO, (Bilingual School Organization), where 60% of the day is taught in English and 40% in Spanish. My class consists of 34 Kindergarten students. Sixteen in the morning and eighteen in the afternoon, ranging from 5 to 6 years of age. Our school is a Title 1 school. More than eighty percent of our students are on free or reduced lunch and come from low social-economic families. The majority of our students are English Language Learners whose parents have migrated to the USA from around the world. Technology is a luxury therefore most parents can't afford to buy computers for them at home.
Our mission statement which is dear to my heart is to "bilingually foster student achievement with respect for historical, cultural and individual diversities with an emphasis on the preservation of our environment and an appreciation for the arts".
