I teach in an urban middle school comprised of sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Our academic classes consist of four seventy-minute core classes and two forty-five minute electives. Art, music, shop, and gym are offered as electives to enhance math, language arts, science, and social studies. We are departmentalized by subject matter as well as teamed interdisciplinary. I teach the sixth grade science and math to students ranging in age from eleven through thirteen. Many of our students lack the funding for basic school supplies. Teachers, as well as the school, help out when possible. Through multiple hands-on experiences, students are engaged in writing, reading, calculation, and active communication of their thoughts and ideas about Science and Math content. My belief is that all students need to be engaged in multiple inquiry activities. With funding, inquiry could become priority within the science/math classroom provided that consumable resources are available. Being a sixth grade teacher allows me to begin the educational interest of many students in the middle school setting. The main focus of my project is for the students to incorporate math and science by using the different combinations of dominoes to create visual representations of historical figures such as Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., and President Obama to name a few. This will be completed in a center style activity that will be worked on over several days in the class room as time permits. When completed, the projects will be framed and displayed throughout the school. Students will also be responsible in researching each historical figure that is created to include data about each when displayed. Thank you for your consideration within this grant process. The students and staff of my school eagerly anticipate new works of art that are created by our students. This grant would be the positive kick-off that our school needs to not only display student’s art creations but proudly display the research of the historical background of each figure.
