My students come from impoverished homes where most times they're on their own at home, having to care for themselves as their parent(s) struggle to provide shelter and food. Coming to school is the one only constant in their lives. It is a place where they know they have stability and often times, there only two balanced meals. Our school offers 100% free breakfast and lunch to students due to their economic status. Our classroom is one of the only places where the world outside of their neighborhood comes to life. More than 80% of my students are considered English Language Learners.
