Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

Can you imagine coming to school and being expected to learn the old fashion way when the world around you is so technologically inclined? Books no longer hold my students attention because the world offers them things that are much more exciting. I want to show them education is more exciting!

My students are not extremely well off.

We live in a low income area, where 83% of our school is on free or reduced lunch. I have children in my class that are always in need and never are offered the best simply because no one can afford to give it to them. The world around them moves so fast however, many of them have nothing. The ones that do not live in want are distracted by all the things that they believe are better than school. Between the low income families and all the military in our community, I want to be able to offer these kids something they do not have anywhere else. I want to give them an avenue of learning that the rest of the world around them has.

My Project

We have been accumlating more technolgy in our classroom, mostly through the funding of projects on Donors Choose. However, we a have a few computers and iPods. However, we can not have 10 devises playing sound in the room at the same time. We have no headphones in our classroom and there are so many programs out there that sound makes learning much more possible. Some of the students favorite reading programs are limited by the fact that they can not hear what is going on. We need ten headphones desperately!

This project is so important to me because my students deserve the best!

They are not offered the best in so many aspects of their lives. I just want to give them something so they will know that they deserve the same things everything else has.
