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 a reading interventionist and teach for a few Reading Pull Outs (lowest 25% and projected level 1's and 2's on the FSA), work with Tier 3 kindergarten-2nd graders, and I also am in charge of the Teen Trendsetters Program. The students in this program consist of middle schoolers (mentors) and KG-3rd Grade students (mentees). All students within my Title I school receive free or reduced-price lunches and are from low-income areas.
My Project
In our classroom, we have class pets-- three dwarf hamsters. Though the hamsters make scarce appearances during the day, they are mostly nocturnal. My goal with this project is to have a camera in the classroom pointed at the hamsters and have "check ins" on our class communication system that parents can show their students how the hamsters are doing throughout the night.
The camera will also give me piece of mind when I leave the hamsters overnight.
I do take the hamsters home over the weekends and on holidays/summer, but to cart them back and forth every night and morning is a bit much. Also, this way, I will be able to take screenshots of what the hamsters are doing during the night.
