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 beautiful and brilliant. Our class consists of multi-level learners. Our school is a high-poverty, Title I school, meaning that one hundred percent of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A fraction of my students are homeless, and many of my other students have houses or apartments they share with one or more families. Some of my students do not have a bed to sleep on. I've noticed they are hungry in the mornings and by midday. We are an extended day school where the kids stay later than a usual school dismissal time.
Our school is located in a high-poverty neighborhood but my students work very hard every day.
Our class has a ninety-eight percent attendance rate, which means the students rarely miss school. We value our learning time. My students come from multi-ethnic backgrounds, each with distinctive cultural traditions. In our classroom, we blend our traditions to form strong community ties.
My Project
My students do not have access to technology at home . We still have to work with pencil and paper the old fashion way. These pencil pouches are perfect for keeping everything organized( the pencils, glue, highlighters and mini notebooks . The pencils are necessary for working on math problems throughout the remainder of the year. The erasers are perfect for erasing away our mistakes, when we make them in math. The students will use the sticky notes to write me questions on the work they turn in. All of these items are essential to an organized math area. I have been busy printing, cutting, laminating, and re-cutting out visual supports, visual schedules, behavioral supports, and materials for my students.
My students need these supplies now.
Our school had been printing out packets but the have stopped. But the learning CAN NOT stop. So now it is up to me. The binder will be used to organize their worksheets from the math journals printed on the copy paper. The notebook paper will be for working out their problems.
