I teach in a high poverty school, with the large majority of my students receiving free or reduced lunch. I am a first-year special education resource teacher, serving students in both 4th and 5th grade. I currently work with 17 students, with up to 10 in my classroom at a time. My students are kind, enthusiastic and very hard workers. They enjoy the opportunity to explore new ideas and share their knowledge with others.
