I have a regular education 4th grade classroom. Some students have learning difficulties, yet many are recognized as gifted and talented. All of my students are eager to learn and treat each other with respect and care. They are all curious, creative, and love learning! Our school is located in California and has just recently been recognized with a California Distinguished School award. My students raised money this year for Smile Power(an organization that fixes cleft palates) by having a bake sale. They raised enough money to fix more than 5 cleft palates. They have also been involved in several fundraisers for our sister school in Richmond, California where we send donations for school supplies, books, playground balls, and sometimes money for classroom supplies.
