My students come from a high poverty area that presents them with many challenges on a daily basis. I identify and connect with them well, since I hail from a very similar background.
However, I take my experiences in life and I make them as positive as I can. Therefore, my students are a direct reflection of my classroom teacher persona: exciting, enthusiastic, eager and positive in regards to all forms of learning. They clearly seek-out their first time in school as a refuge and new place of discovery.
I make certain to emphasize these positive interactions. I know the trials they are already faced with, and it may even pour into the classroom at times. But, they know I expect only the best from them and as kindergartners, they strive to meet me there.
For most of them, it is a culture shock to have a nurturing, positive black male figure in their life, as the examples are few in their life.
