My Super Stars are an amazing bunch of little learners and their resiliency continues to astound me day after day. Our school is located in the heart of the inner city in one of the "worst" neighborhoods. Imagine growing up surrounded by gangs, violence, extreme poverty and homelessness. The fact that my little loves continue to show up to school every day ready to learn and love is a humbling experience. Many of them did not have the ability to attend PreK so they need to play catch up from day one. Every learning experience we do needs to have both our Kindergarten expectations but also missing foundation skills that they are still lacking. The great thing about my kids is that they are ready for anything!! In our classroom we don't say "I can't!" instead we say "I can't yet, but I will!"
