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

My crew is a set of amazing students at our growing school on the city's east side. They are active learners who take in everything around them. This crew is pushed to reach high expectations and they excel each and every day. Our crew exemplifies our habits of character: responsibility, cooperation, compassion, integrity, perseverance, curiosity and creativity through their learning and actions.

Our crew is diverse in so many ways.

Our crew leaders strive to meet their diverse needs in both academic and social-emotional ways. They bring so much love and joy with them to school each day.

My Project

This year, I will be embarking on a new adventure within our school. As a fifth grade crew leader, my classroom will focus on Math, Science, Technology and Engineering.

We will be encouraging curiosity, creativity, and innovation within our students.

Our students have been craving for more science and technology and we can't wait to see them become citizen scientists and promote change and inspiration in our school and greater community.

These materials will provide opportunities for students to create things of their own, build, and explore with different medias.
