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

As a teacher, your dream is to come back to your school and teach students who now attend your alma mater. This year I didn’t exactly go back to my alma mater but I did teach at the school that started the foundation of KIPP DC. This is my first year teaching Art at KIPP Key Middle School and their first time having Art as an elective.

My students love to create and I know this because of the art work they have produced during online learning.

I will be teaching 8 sixth graders in an upcoming Wednesday Workshop that will have 5 sessions. My students have already experienced art contests, local art talks, virtual art shows, and tours to art museums so far this year through their computer screen.

My art teacher inspired me to create without limits and I want to pass that gift on to my students. I already know that my students are able to do anything they put their mind to but as teachers we should be able to provide the creative tools for this to happen.

My Project

By creating these "DIY Art Kits", students will have less interaction wit their peers during in person instruction.

Students need access to their own materials in a classroom setting before virtual learning and it is even more crucial during these times.

Students will be given a rock painting kit, terrarium kit, tissue paper art kit, yarn art kit, and scrapbooking kit. Each kit will be prepped by myself and ready fro student when they enter the classroom.

There will be will be a different kit each session per student. Students will be able to take home crafts and access materials for future crafts.
