My Students As a teacher in a low-income, high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households, receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status and are English Language Learners. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way.
