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 special because they have a unique desire to want to learn. They face many challenges coming to school, but despite all the challenges, our students and our school succeed. Many of our students live in poverty and lack the many resources they need at home and at school to meet the needs of our changing society. We have students who attend our school who still don't have access to personal computers in their homes. Many students are able to use their parents' smartphones as a means to connect with technology, but it is not a substitute for having a personal computer to complete homework assignments and learn more about the world around them.
My students have a desire to want to know more about our world and how it works.
I'm empowered to help teach them all they need to know to be able to interact in a society that focuses on math, technology, and science. When students have a desire to learn, it helps to motivate me to make sure they have the tools they need, so they will be able to make an impact on their future.
My Project
My students are just beginning to read, so I would like to provide them with easy to read books that are fun to read. My students have learned to read pattern books so it is important to me that they continue to have books they can read as they continue to practice their new skill of following the pattern.
It is important that reading is fun for my students.
When young readers are learning to read it should be in a fun way so they will find the joy and excitement in reading. It will also be Dr. Seuss' birthday ,and I want my students to be able to read every book that he wrote in hopes that they can take his same style of writing and include it in their daily writing and always.
