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

I love the fact that my scholars are willing to learn. They are excited to come to class and grow and expand their minds. My scholars are special because they are willing to learn and grow regardless of their challenging environments. Most middle school-aged children are clueless about STEM and other career areas. It is important to me that all of them are given the opportunity to learn more about science and other areas of STEM. I believe in educating scholars about the wonderful opportunities in life.

These science kits and visuals will help assist in the learning process.

The majority of people are visual learners these days. The science kits will be great for children who are visual learners. The science kits can be used to help apply the lesson to real-life/hands-on activities. For example, genetics, types of cells, and food webs are important lessons in the Life Science curriculum. The kit includes puzzles for genetics. The scholars will be able to learn the background information through instruction as a whole, in small groups, and individually. Various activities will be given to help with whole group, small group, and individual assignments. The kits will be great for children who are in need of hands-on activities and application of the lessons. The visuals and kits can be used to stress the application of the information on genetics and other lessons. The interests of the scholars will continuously grow with the help of the kits and visuals.
