I have continued to reflect on my time in PR as a new school year has begun. I have shared my blog with my school's media center specialist as well as the ELL teacher (s). I hope that it will provide insight to the many Puerto Rican students that we serve. I feel that I view my students in a different way, having visited the place that some of them come from. I encourage my students to see how learning English will benefit their futures, meanwhile keeping their culture is just as important. This educational experience was a way to connect with some of my new students who were from PR. They were anxious to hear about my time in "their" country. I hope that my experience in PR does not end today, and that I continue to reflect on this role of culture in the classroom.
