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

I teach 17 first grade students in a high poverty school in Washington, DC, where over 99% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The children's needs are very diverse, as they operate at varying skill levels, and it is our goal at my school to find resources to make sure everyone's needs are met. We also always need basic supplies to keep our classroom running smoothly. Donors like you not only fill in the gaps, but also provide us an opportunity to go beyond the basics in our classroom.

My Project

Later this year, we will study money. We learn about the value of dollars and different coins during math and we spend one of our ELA units learning about what we can do with money- save it, spend it or donate it.

These materials will help the two first grade classrooms set up class stores.

Students will be able to earn money throughout the unit and each Friday, will have a choice to save, spend or donate their money. We will use the cash registers and the realistic looking plastic money to make the whole experience seems as realistic as possible.
