I have 26 AMAZING inquisitive first graders who I try to provide a safe haven amidst one of the highest crime ridden neighborhoods in CA, but their neighborhood does not define them. Our school is a Title 1 school - all students qualify to receive free breakfast and lunch. They are challenged with economic hardship, yet it does not deter their hopes and dreams for a brighter future. My students think and see themselves as engineers, architects, mathematicians, historians, scientists... Although their love for a certain discipline is ever evolving, their love for learning is constant and increases every time they can connect with a subject or lesson. They enjoy hands-on experiences exploring through STEAM integrated lessons. My sweet little scholars come from loving homes who believe their child can succeed. Their parents strengthen and encourage the idea that education is the crux of a better life.
