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 Project
Let's be honest -- math can be hard, so creating a successful support system in the math classroom is absolutely essential. Over the course of my 16-year teaching career, especially as a 9th grade Algebra 1 teacher, I have worked hard to help students develop efficient organizational and study skills that will set them up for current and future success.
The students at my school are absolutely wonderful kids who care about learning, and they're also dealing with the complex effects of significant poverty.
For this project, I would love your partnership in gathering materials that will help students build good habits with their school supplies. Students who hold on to a regular pencil for a designated time period will have the opportunity to upgrade to a mechanical pencil and eventually move up to an even higher quality mechanical pencil. My hope is to help build in them the idea that small, positive choices lead to long-term gains. Along with this, I would love to provide students the opportunity to use technology to design a cover page for their binders and print those cover pages in color using the color toner. I believe their ability to customize and eventually upgrade their Algebra 1 materials is going to help them take more pride and ownership of their work and subsequent material mastery.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to partnering with you to provide all students an educational experience that is genuinely excellent.
