My class is a class of 25 students. We are a 2nd grade gifted and talented class. There is still a wide range of levels and learners, however. The children are energetic, lively, and love to talk! Whether it's about a task they were given, or anything else. Some of them are so motivated to be successful and complete challenging tasks. Others have the ability but need more of a push. Our school is in an at-risk, urban area in the New York City School District. Our school is wonderful and successful regardless of this fact. We strive everyday to beat the stereotypes of where we are. The resources are just not available. Gifted and Talented teachers are supposed to have an extra budget for materials needed to enhance the curriculum and it just isn't available. Because these students are on higher levels than their peers, boredom can set in quickly. Without the proper motivation, they can lose focus quickly. They really love a challenge and they love to work hard.
