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

Science is now used in many facets of our lives. I've noticed that many pupils struggle to concentrate in class because they are hungry when they first arrive as a special education and science teacher. I place a high priority on providing refreshments as a means of attracting their attention and rewarding them after the group activity is complete.

Subsequently, many of my students lack the supplies they need to succeed academically, such as a monitor, speakers, notebooks, snacks, Kleenex, headphones, and paper.

Students often find studying difficult because there aren't enough supplies. Giving children with learning disabilities and medical disorders like ADHD, EBD, and MID the skills they need to overcome these challenges and excel in school is essential. I hope to inspire my students to raise their academic standards and realize their full potential by addressing these supply difficulties and implementing special teaching techniques. I aim to create an environment in the classroom where each student may actively engage in the fascinating study of science. I will utilize the equipment and refreshments to achieve my objective. To concentrate on their assignments on their Chromebooks, each student requires headphones. Every year, I have a new group of kids ready to study and interact with others. Students who struggle with typing or phonics can use a headset and a microphone to communicate while working. My children require a unique education tailored to their needs to fulfill their educational needs. I'll employ these resources to build a motivating and pleasurable learning environment. Please help me by giving my children all the tools they need to begin this school year.

Mrs. Nneka DeCastro-Neaves will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
