I am a bilingual first grade teacher, my students are Hispanic and I love them.
Every day is a challenge for me. I have economically disadvantaged students that struggle with psychological problems and health issues.
I need to be creative to teach them and not just give them information or explain a concept.
Fortunately I have tools to teach in my classroom such as manipulatives, notebooks, books and technology.
I cannot complain about resources, but I was missing an important element, nature.
Luckily, several months ago, Ms. Birdsong presented the garden project to us and I was really excited.
