Do you remember being a fifth-grader? Everyday, my co-teacher and I get to spend our time with 28 energetic, full of personality fifth graders. They are amazing, and so eager to learn! We teach an ICT class, or inclusion class, made up of students with diverse learning needs. Some are high-performing, high achieving students, others struggle with behavior, and learning issues. We have students on the Autism Spectrum, and many students with Learning Disabilities. They exist in an energetic learning community, but live in a high-poverty area, and many of their parents are new immigrants to our country. Even the middle-school application process is competitive in Brooklyn, and many of our students' parents lack the time or means to keep up in this environment. Despite the obstacles that our students, and parents face, I'm often astounded by their drive, ambition, and wonderful learning spirits!
