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

This year, as I embark on teaching 7th and 8th-grade science, I'm excited to provide students with hands-on learning experiences. Basic supplies like pencils are essential for note-taking during lectures and experiments, allowing students to record observations and hypotheses. Markers come in handy for creating vibrant diagrams and charts, making complex scientific concepts easier to understand.

Color pencils add depth and detail to diagrams and illustrations, fostering creativity in scientific projects.

Paper serves as a canvas for students to sketch diagrams, jot down ideas, and complete assignments. Glue and tape are indispensable for assembling models and projects, enabling students to demonstrate their understanding visually.

Scissors are crucial for cutting materials during experiments and craft projects, promoting fine motor skills and practical application of scientific methods. Additionally, manipulatives such as models, puzzles, and building kits provide tactile experiences that reinforce abstract concepts, making learning more engaging and accessible.

Your support in providing these supplies will empower students to explore, experiment, and discover the wonders of science in a dynamic and interactive classroom environment. Your contribution, regardless of size, will be immensely appreciated by myself and my students. Thank you for considering being a part of our educational journey!"
