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 teach fifth grade at a small, Title I-funded, neighborhood school. One hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students are eager to learn and love hands-on learning experiences. Ninety five precent of my students are African American.
Our next unit in science is on understanding why organisms differ from or are similar to their parents based on the characteristics of the organisms.
We will be learning about genetics and heredity. The books will give my students visual representations of how genes control what characteristics organisms have.
My students deserve the best educational opportunities that I can give them, and I do my best to give those opportunism to them.
