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 have a lively group of first grade students! Our county is classified as high poverty on every Google search. We are a Title I school. There isn't any industry in the area. Access to academic resources outside of the school are very limited.
Most of our students come to us with very little exposure to real life experiences due to the fact that the county resources are so limited.
We are required to expose them to so much, but without technology, that can be impossible. These kids are eager to learn but do not have the necessary tools.
My Project
My students need resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to meet their goals. We do not have a set curriculum. I am constantly buying pieces here and there to supplement the things we do have. I have settled on curriculum from Tara West and Reagan Turnstill for Literacy and Math. The total cost of these curriculums are right at $300. This gift card would allow us to purchase the needed pieces of the curriculum we haven't already purchased to build a solid curriculum for my students. I love that through teachers pay teachers, I can purchase a curriculum at a fraction of a cost and it is just what we need. I can store the files electronically and print what I need, as I need.
