My students need new fresh items such as a leveled library,seat sacks, and reward chests to start off their 2nd semester in first grade and make their way on to 2nd grade!
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.
My Students
The challenge facing my students are the lack of challenges in the classroom. They face plenty of them home dealing with their home life so school should be that place where they have little or no worries. Let's keep them empowered as well as engaged in class!
My students attend a Baltimore City Public School in a poverty stricken area.
Most students come from at least 1 parent or guardian being home at all times. These student face many obstacles in their life now as someone who leads a "normal" life now may just be facing. Students enjoy coming to school for the most part and in my class, my attendance rate is about 95% everyday. The students are full of life and never want to leave once the school bell rings.
My Project
The use of these resources would help change the students lives for the better for many reasons. First of all, having new fresh colors as well as organization would brighten up my first grade classroom. Secondly, these materials would help add a little more responsibility to the students because they would be having their own mailbox as well as a place for them to place their materials on their chair each day. All other materials requested would help benefit these students because these items would not normally be ordered by the school for them.
This project would help make a difference in a child in order for them to see a whole new world of organization in the classroom, as well as their own space to place items or to receive them compared to sharing just a locker.
This project would kind of be the "Spring Cleaning" of our first grade classroom!
