A note from Teresita
I have been teaching at my school for 35 years! I am a teacher in a low-income, inner-city school region with a large, diverse population. Most of my students are first-generation Americans or immigrant children from a variety of South American countries. My students are faced with many challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Throughout the school year, it is our goal to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion of all! Our school is a Title I school, which means a school with large concentrations of low-income students. Many students in our school qualify and enter our school through the Head Start Program, which is available for children who are from families with incomes below the poverty guidelines, children from homeless families, and/or families receiving public assistance. Some of the students in my classes are special needs students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), are ESL students (English as a second language), and/or have other types of special needs. Regardless of their challenges though, the majority of the students are very determined and eager to succeed. In spite of their personal experiences, most of my students are very active, enthusiastic learners who possess a thirst for knowledge.

Adopt Teresita’s classroom
A wishlist is one moment in a long year. Supplies run out, holiday projects need their own things, and the snack drawer is empty again by February. Adopting means Teresita can tell you what comes up next, and how the year is going in the room itself.
Once a month at the most, written by Teresita. One click to stop, whenever you like. Teresita never sees your address, and it is used for nothing else.
