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

My students are 7th graders and most of the families are from low socio-economic backgrounds. It is very important to me that they understand how our government works so they can intelligently participate in our Democracy. I love to see my students have fun and get excited to learn about our government. If you know any middle school aged children, they can be hard to engage. Recently, I have discovered some activities that my students love. They love to color, cut and create interactive notebooks. Also, tissues, wipes, and hand sanitizers are always needed wherever you have kids. These resources will last the entire school year.

I will use these resources to make guide students in creating interactive notebooks for all 39 standards they are tested on at the end of the year.

Each student will have interactive worksheets to color, cut and glue into compositions books to create interactive notebooks. The will also have poster board to create a Branches of Government cube, with information about the branches on each side. The posters will help with various projects.

The headphones will be very helpful in allowing students to work quietly on the computer on online student paced assignments. while the class works at the various stations. Students will also create flash card to help retain vocabulary using pencils, colored pencils, crayons, and markers.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase engagement, you will ultimately increase academic success and a love of Civics.
