My little cutie pies are energetic and loving kids. They want to succeed in school. They work hard and play hard. Our school is in an area that experiences a lot of poverty. Our school was built over fifty years ago, and has recently had an addition to accommodate the number of students in our area. Most of my students are bilingual. Spanish is spoken at home and English at school. Many of my students are below grade level because their parents cannot help them with reading and homework, as they do not read, speak, or write in English. This is especially challenging for my students as they try to succeed in their bilingual world. My students love to read! When they finish their work earlier than some of the others, they get to have free reading time. They love this time of day and the opportunity to look at books from the school library or my classroom library. They love to read together and alone. I love the excitement in their faces and voices as they share and read books.
