The Children’s Cultural Center of Native America offers an exciting two and a half hour interactive workshop focusing on the Indigenous Americans who once inhabited New York City and the New York Metro area. Children dress in traditional Native regalia and experience a day in the life of a young Lenape boy or girl before European contact. Our staff of Indigenous cultural interpreters will help students understand about today’s Native People too. A puppet show highlights Native children living in today’s world but not forgetting their Native cultural heritage. Your curriculum will come to life during a morning of authentic cultural learning. The Children’s Cultural Center of Native America has been featured in several publications including the New York Daily News (see attachment). The program is designed for K-6th graders and is approved as a learning program and field trip by the New York City Department of Education.
Don’t miss out on the premier Indigenous learning workshop in New York City! Rates: Children: $8.00 Parents: $6.00 School Staff: Free
Note: We are an organization that understands financial difficulties; if the fee seems too high we may be able to negotiate. We believe all children should have the opportunity to attend this educational and enjoyable event!

I have a male student who is totally unmotivated to do much of anything during class except sit there (he minimally disrupts the class). I have tried rewards, which have been somewhat helpful. Negatives...stay after school, in at recess (which he needs)have not helped either. He does nothing (and does disrupt the group)in small groups with a special education teacher helping. We have tried one/one with a teaching assistant - do this work, then we will play a game; works for 1 day, not the next). We have modified his work. State testing in Grade 3 - failed both math and ELA. Writes down any answer, circles multiple choice answers without reading them (he CAN read). Playing games/computers does not seem to interest him. I know he can learn...with practice the past few months with me after school, he knows his multiplication facts very well and I have seen a small spark of his feeling proud of himself. He's been unmotivated, according to his other teachers, for years in school. This child has had a tough upbringing, but it is frustrating for all who work with him. He is on an IEP, and has very little home support (lives with a relative, his mom and dad are not in his life). Guidance personnel have begun supporting him (depression?). Do you have ideas for what might motivate this child? Something that has actually worked? I see this child as an "at risk" student for dropping out of school later on, and it is rare when you see it at the fourth grade level. We'd like to help him all we can. He is a sweet kid.
Where is the fourth grade teacher convention held in Illinois in June every year?

I saw in a Scholastic.com email that they are having a virtual field trip on March 29 at 1 p.m. EDT. I watched their Plimoth Plantation one in November and liked that a lot this year compared to last year.

Our LA Committee is looking to include an author study with leveled novels to include in the curriculum for 4th 5th. Does anyone have suggestions for authors and book titles? Your help is greatly appreciated! :)

Is he clinically depressed? We can't really woo depressed children out of their depression. What does the guidance counselor say as to how real his depression is.
Even if not, what does this child have to look forward to? Small wonder that he's disconnected from school. And kudos to you and your aide that ...See More
