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

The students at our middle school are a very diverse group. We have many economically disadvantaged students and many transient students. Despite this, they are eager to learn and eager to improve. We are a Title I school with a population of 700 students ranging from autistic to academically gifted, as well as an ESL population. Demographically it is made up of 85 percent African American children with 100 percent of our students receiving free breakfast and lunch. During this new normal of ours, we have provided devices to all of our students. Each day students are diligent about logging on and interacting with teachers and other students through WebEx and completing assignments, quizzes, etc. through our learning platform, Canvas. We are preparing to move to a hybrid schedule in January.

My Project

We are anxiously preparing for the arrival of our students on campus and hybrid, blended learning in January. I am so excited about getting the students involved straight away with the technology we already have in the library - Sphero balls and Robots being among the most popular activities. We have two I-Robots in the Library that the students absolutely love to build, rebuild, and maneuver on missions. Although they work, the iPads we currently have are older and not as efficient as the one I am so desperately asking for in this DonorsChoose project. My students will think they have died and gone to heaven if able to use this latest edition of the iPad with an Apple pen with our Speros and I-Robots. I would so like to surprise my students with the newest iPad and an Apple pen upon their return to school.
