My students need basic school supplies such as crayons, pencils, paper, glue sticks, etc. More than half of my students do not have basic school supplies.
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
The students I am serving come from a Title I school with many receiving free or reduced rate lunches along with a fixed mindset that I am trying to turn around. I have taught many character lessons on perseverance, integrity, making right choices, and leaving a legacy. I hope to instill in them a growth mindset that allows learning to take place. There is a quote that I use daily with them and it is...
"The choices you make today determines tomorrow's successes!
Choose Wisely!"
My Project
The basic schools supplies that my students need are crayons, pencils, paper, glue sticks, etc. Most of my students can not replace the school supplies that some of them, not all of them, brought at the beginning of the year for the remaining of the year. The school supplies would allow my students to be successful in my math and science classes.
My classroom is designed to be a hands-on, engaging, innovating, and learning experiences with the opportunity to create endless possibilities with their creative minds.
School supplies are a necessary tool in a classroom to allow more lifelong learning.
