Class Description:
I teach 2nd grade Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Many of my students are all English Language Learners, and several of them have special needs. They come from a low-income neighborhood in Chicago where their parents work hard and aren't around a lot. With all the crazy things going on around them, school is often one of the only places my students feel safe and have a structured routine.
