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

My students are from the Northeastern area of Columbus, Georgia. All of my courses are co-taught due to several of my students having individual challenges in learning. The school is over 80% free and reduced lunch, which is directly aligned to the extensive amount of poverty that exists.

My students need additional support in increasing their Lexile scores (reading ability), exposure to literature/masterpieces, and having necessary supplies to be successful in their learning.

It is a vocational high school; it is the first secondary vocational high school in the state. The school has courses that are designed to prepare students to enter a technical college or enter the workforce. It is often difficult for students to become productive members of society. I am thankful that this resource is available!

My Project

These items will help bring the literature to life; students need basic materials in order to learn. Having paper, pencils, highlighters, etc. will assist them with becoming more organized and proficient in their learning. We do a lot of hands-on/tactile activities in our classroom.

Having materials for them to be able to draw images of the symbolic measures of the Holocaust with explanation, or developing their own poem about survival being a matter of life or death is essential to real-world connections.

Literacy is a component that is optimal for all students to become productive citizens and life-long learners. Thanks!
