My students are three years old and entering their first structured school environment outside of daycare. Our classroom is in a Title I school in Southeast Washington, DC. Our building is older and way past due for renovation but whatever we may lack in resources we make up for in creating a positive environment. The preschoolers that start school with us are often behind already in developing their language and literacy skills. We have to work very hard to make them more verbal and to encourage them to use their words. Often times, before we start to work on reading, we have to begin with very basic things like how to hold the book correctly and turn one page at a time. These are things others may have learned naturally through countless bedtime stories by Mom or Dad, but we have to explicitly teach them here. They're just as incredibly bright and inquisitive as students in the more affluent suburbs and other parts of the city. We just start in a different place.
