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 third and fourth grade math to students in an inner city school, where all students are on the free or reduced-price lunch plan.
Despite their hardships, the children I teach come to school each day enthusiastic and ready to learn.
However, many of these children struggle with getting support and the necessary supplies to be successful at school. The school provides as much for each child as possible, including backpacks, uniforms, uniform shoes, and extracurricular opportunities. Our principal does as much as she can to support our students financially with supplies. At times there just isn't enough money in the budget.
My Project
I have a working printer in my classroom that I purchased; however, we go through ink cartridges pretty quickly. I buy my own ink cartridges because the district that I work for no longer supplies us with printers, let alone colored ink. It gets very costly. The students use the program EXCEL to graph their monthly addition, subtraction and multiplication timed test scores.
We are very limited in the area of technology at our school.
We do not have a computer lab, so being able to do the printing in my room will be very beneficial to both my students and me.
