Help me give my students books which reflect their culture and race. We are also in need of snacks and face masks to keep students alert and safe in class.
My students are a creative group of young people. They are excited about learning and have a lot of energy! My school is located in a high crime, high poverty area of a large city.
School, oftentimes, is the only constant in these children's lives.
I try to provide a warm, comfortable environment for my students so they can learn without unnecessary stress.
School supplies are a necessity that many parents can not afford. Providing basic supplies for the school year can help alleviate some of the stress for my students and parents.
My Project
These books that I selected are great for the social emotional learning of my students. There are a mix of history and fiction books that reflect the African American students whom I teach. I already have shared some of the titles on online, but it would be fantastic to have these books in class.
Students need positive examples of their culture depicted in the books that they read.I will use the history books during the school year to teach African American History.
Students are also in need of face masks, to stay safe in class. The snacks will keep them alert in the afternoon once they begin to get hungry again.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
