This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I teach kindergarten in a school and neighborhood impacted by Hurricane Katrina. My school is considered low-performing and is composed almost entirely of low-income students. One hundred percent of my students receive free lunch and are considered extremely at-risk.
Our school was impacted by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The building took about a foot of water resulting in the loss of teaching materials, textbooks, and technology. The school was closed until August 2007. All students had to evacuate the area and had to attend schools all over the country. Many returning students were not able to come back to the homes they lived in before Katrina. Many of them had to live at least temporarily in different apartments or homes until their homes could be repaired or renovated. Some had to live in FEMA trailers, while other had to move in with other family members in a single family home. Others are still waiting for homes to be repaired. Many families are facing financial hardships because of Katrina. All of this has caused anxiety and emotional distress to a number of our students and their families.
My student need math resources that will help foster a love of math. My students need to read books about math and have hands-on activities to help them realize that math is more than a bunch of numbers that are everywhere in the world around us. The resources that I have chosen will allow my students to work independently in the areas of math that they are struggling in and build confidence in their abilities.
There has never been a more important time to serve your fellow man than now. We need immediate help to recover, rebuild, and restore our school, to bring our families home, and to bring our children back to their neighborhood, their community and their school. This task cannot possibly be accomplished without the assistance of many. Please help me to bring laughter back to the school yard, learning back to the classrooms, and the joyful noise of a loving community back to this area and city.
