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 consist of low socio-economic status and military families. Seventy-five percent of the students that attend my school are not performing on grade level in reading and math. The school that I teach at has only been accredited for 2 years, but the teachers are still trying to get the students prepared with limited resources.

Twenty-five percent of our students suffer from some type of trauma.

This makes it hard for them to focus on learning. I have to find different ways to keep the students engaged. The group of students that I will be working with need a reason to care and try. Help be that reason.

My Project

My students are preparing to take their first state science test. They have had to learn two years of science in one year. This project will give the students the materials to do an amazing experiment to help them learn about a standard that will be covered.

This Solar House Design kit will help my students get engaged in science.

They will remember the information better. They will actually look forward to doing science on a daily basis. There are no tricks in science, which means the students either know it or they do not. Help me get my students excited about science.
