My students are at risk for failing, both in school and in life. They are from a low socioeconomic background, come from broken homes, travel a great distance to come to a "choice" middle school in New York City and are below grade level in most, if not all content areas. They are young, eager 6th graders who want nothing more than to find academic success and break the cycle of failure. My students crave positive reinforcement and celebrate even the smallest accomplishment. They are typical 6th graders who want to learn by being active and doing. They deserve to experience a complete science laboratory experience with hand on activities.
