I am a fourth grade teacher at a Title 1 school in Brooklyn. My students are ardent, brilliant and eager learners. Over the past few years, our neighborhood has become the epicenter of Brooklyn. The neighborhood has changed due to rapid gentrification. For many of the families this means that their cost of living has dramatically increased while their incomes have not. For my students, it has become clear that this anti-growth is a barrier to many opportunities. My hope is that my students will be able to have enhancing encounters that will keep them stimulated and engaged as life-long learners.
