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
I am excited to be moving from fifth grade to sixth grade with my students this year. They are an amazing group of students that I have been lucky enough to teach in second, fifth, and now sixth grade. My school serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade. We are a Title I school and all our students are eligible to receive free lunches.
My students are hardworking and eager to learn.
Unfortunately, these amazing students don't always have access to some basic supplies that students take for granted! Many students don't come to school with a pencil, let alone the one binder needed for all 3 of my classes.
For the past three years, I have worked with my students on a community service project. We have done supply drives and worked with a local homeless shelter. This year, we would like improve the school culture. One of our ideas is to create a welcoming place for your students and add positive messages throughout the school.
My Project
My students are working on improving school culture. One thing they have been doing is researching bullying and the impact it has on students. We would also like to do some fun projects to improve the culture.
One easy way to improve the school culture is to add positive message posters around the school!
We want to hang up messages that encourage students to make good choices and be kind. We also need new hall passes. The paper ones get lost and take up too much instruction time to write so getting reusable ones and colorful ones would be nice.
Finally, we would like to encourage younger students to make kinder choices so we are asking for books that focus on kindness and we would like to have our sixth graders read to the younger students then donate that book to their classroom library.
