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 students are part of a wonderfully close-knit community that has had many challenges. They live in a low income part of Philadelphia, and the neighborhood can be difficult with many challenges. My students have not been given a lot and I try to provide them with everything that I can. Many of my students receive free or reduced-rate breakfast and lunch. This year, it is my goal to make all my students feel welcome and comfortable in our classroom.
My Project
Please help me provide a clean a comfortable reading area for my students in our classroom. They have been working so hard this year to grow in their reading and it has become one of their favorite things to do in our class. By having a more comfortable area to read I want to make it even more special as they continue to grow.
Having a comfortable place to read will help encourage my students to keep on reading.
This couch will help provide a comfortable place for multiple kids to read at once. Right now they are using items that I have been able to scrape together.
