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 Project

I adore the creativity and enthusiasm of my 5th graders at our Title 1 school. Each resource requested will serve as a catalyst for their imagination and learning journey. Correction tape and sticky notes will empower them to refine their work and organize their thoughts effectively, fostering a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Highlighters and colored pens will add vibrancy to their notes and projects, enhancing comprehension and creativity. Dry-erase markers and colored cardstock will provide versatile mediums for interactive learning and artistic expression, sparking curiosity and engagement.

My goal for this project extends beyond mere supplies; I aim to cultivate a culture of creativity, resilience, and academic excellence.

These resources will enable my students to explore, experiment, and express themselves in diverse ways, fostering a deep love for learning and self-discovery.

What sets my students apart is their boundless creativity. Despite facing socio-economic obstacles, they approach every task with an innovative spirit, turning limitations into opportunities for growth. These students are not just learners; they are artists, scientists, and dreamers, shaping their own destinies and leaving a lasting impact on the world around them.
