Help me give my students basic school supplies of pencils, sharpeners, paper, and other supplies to let their remote learning become a hands-on, fun, and meaningful experience just like they get in school.
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
My students are from Louisiana. My students who love coming to school eager to learn have been stripped of this experience because of COVID 19. My energetic kindergartners who normally are in class are now at home struggling to keep up with lessons and assignments.
On a normal school day, my students would be eagerly reading books, writing stories, learning new words and learning math strategies are now at home reduced to watching me teach daily through videos and scheduled Zoom meetings.
Although their daily routine has been disturbed by the events of the day, we are still keeping the learning going through remote access learning. My students beam with joy. They love to learn!
My Project
Having proper materials make learning fun, hands-on and meaningful. Learning in a box at home allows children to have an active part in their learning thus creating strong student engagement and more successful learners. During daily remote learning videos, students will have the materials they need at home to complete assignments, engage in independent work while participating in class lessons. Currently, my students are working at home with limited or no supplies. Making sure my students have the proper material at home ensures their motivation to learn. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given the proper materials. With the proper materials, they are excited and motivated to participate in learning.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less distracted when they are given the proper materials to work with, thus making work fun, engaging and meaningful.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional support to aid in the learning process. The materials given will aid students in their remote learning. They will also save parents the added expense of having to purchase these items in a time where most of my parents are not working.
I have seen in my 30 years of teaching, how having the proper materials readily available add value to the learning experience and can positively affect my students work and desire to learn.
