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
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention.
Many of them are being raised in single parent households or by grandparents. The majority of students receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical".
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
My students need a variety of materials to be successful this school year. Some items include dry erase board clipboards and erasers which serve as dual uses in our classrooms. They allow students to move around the classroom and work as well as always having a dry erase board ready for use.
We also need basics like pencils, books, and laminating film in order to have the tools necessary for this school year!
To enhance our reading skills, we need some books from our favorite author, Dav Pilkey!
All of these materials will give my students everything needed to help our year be the best one yet!
