My Students
Help make sure all students are getting an equal education, by making sure all students have the chance to share their ideas and understanding while working together!
The 4th grade College Kids Club is a combined classroom of special education and general education students in Brooklyn, NY.
It has 32 students, 11 of whom receive special education services. All of the students are bright, committed to their own education, and brimming with potential. The classroom is diverse, benefiting from cultural connections to Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. But these students also face a number of challenges.
More than a third of the class does not speak English as their primary language at home. All but one student qualify for free or reduced price school lunches, a measure often used to indicate economic status. More than half of the students in the class are more than a full academic year behind in reading, writing, and math.
My Project
This is a classroom of students who is not used to succeeding in school. They are used to bad grades, and often their academic effort has been overshadowed by their poor achievement.
Providing these extrinsic rewards to students who make good choices in the classroom is an important part of building motivation and investment at the beginning of a new year.
So many of the students in our classroom have special language needs, learning disabilities, and/or chronic problems achieving in schoolâÂÂ"these are students who need extra help feeling successful academically.
Extrinsic rewards are an important step toward teaching young people to value their education, and your donation to this project will bring countless smiles to the faces of 32 boys and girls in Brooklyn. school
