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 students are wonderful, hardworking, determined young adults. They have grown up with nothing and want to succeed. These students are from the Southwest Detroit area and are living in conditions we wouldn't wish upon our enemies. In order to be successful, students need supplies. When you have nothing, the only place you can go is up.

These kids are so determined to be successful every little step is a huge gain for them and brightens their day.

These wonderful students who are just trying to make it in the world and set out every day to do their best. But it's hard to do your best when you are met with obstacles such as hunger and homelessness. These kids suffer through things we as adults couldn't imagine ourselves going through let alone a child. On top of that, these kids come to school hungry to learn and are met with obstacles again. They come to a classroom with not enough supplies, books or even computers.

How can I help these kids if I don't have the tools necessary to do so? All these kids want in life is to be successful, please help me make their dreams come true!

My Project

Students will gain confidence and competence with their computer skills by having computers in the classroom to practice with. Students will learn how to type out essays and do research for essays. Learning how to navigate the web will be an essential tool for them in their future endeavors, especially when preparing for college.

Students will be able to engage in a real world setting to the curriculum being taught.

Instead of just having a textbook to read out of, students' lives will be brought into the learning environment through technology based learning. With this technology students will be able to engage in the learning in new fun and creative ways.
