My wonderful Pre-K class is made up of 12 boys and 10 girls that are mostly four years old, with a few that are five years old. This is my third year teaching in our public elementary school in MA, which is located in an urban area. Due to financial constraints, the school budget does not allow for the resources that I am requesting with this project. My students come from various economic and ethnic backgrounds, and are all very special and engaged in learning. Each child brings a special strength to the classroom and helps their peers learn. I am so proud to be included in their introduction to public school education.
