The third grade class that I teach comprises of 22 bright-eyed children from various ethnic backgrounds. There are 12 boys and 10 girls. Most of my students, who are 8 or 9 years old, are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation immigrants primarily from the South Pacific region of the Pacific Ocean.
Academically, the range of learners is very diverse with a bottom heavy representation of struggling learners. Many of these students are learning basic English and trying desperately to make connections from their home language to a new one.

The school that I teach at is called Pu`uhale Elementary School. With a student body of 240 kindergarten-fifth grade students, historically, PES struggles to do well on assessment test.
