Welcome to PS 106. It is located in a high poverty area of the Bronx. Many of the students are first generation Americans. They strive to be successful and excel. Unfortunately, funds are limited and the tools and supplies to meet their needs are not available. You can make a difference by contributing to the learning of these children by helping to support the cost of materials that are not available in the school's budget. My second grade class has a range of learners. The majority however, are low performing. Their learning needs are vast especially because they often do not have the social support, language, and degrees of learning ability. Thirty students of different backgrounds and abilities with one teacher and no help, is an enormous challenge. Therefore, meeting their academic needs to bridge the gap in order to create a solid educational foundation, is my vision.
