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

Fifth grade is an amazing age group. At this age they still want to have fun, aim to please and for the most part, have an open mind. My students are eager to learn and always interested in the next project.

My students come from all walks of life, different backgrounds and various cultures.

My students are a mixtures of races and religions and are learning to embrace differences and how to communicate with each other without insisting others agree with their view point.

My Project

These are some basic supplies that I need to help my students be successful. Fifth grade is a great year to work with students who are excited about their learning and have open minds to learn something new. The challenge is sometimes holding their interest and taking it to a level that will challenge them. My project provides my students with some basic supplies to complete projects but also get them interested. We do many projects in our classroom that will include glue. Recently I realized that they love an opportunity to write with pens. Providing erasable pens will help students have an opportunity to use pens but still erase their mistakes.
