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 Project

I love that despite my students coming from lower-income backgrounds, they come to school eager to learn. My students are also a joy to me because I learn so much from them. One cool characteristic about my students is that they are a diverse population, so we have many in-depth opportunities to discuss and educate each other on different cultures and holidays within ELA and Social Studies lessons. I believe in good humor and corny jokes, so we laugh often in my class.

Most of my students celebrate the Chinese New Year, and they would love to educate and involve the whole class in making festive lanterns, fireworks, and rabbit sculptures!

My students eagerly provided me with a vision and a list of craft materials and colors to make their celebration a success! I cannot wait to see their project come alive and decorate the halls for the Lunar New Year!

Lanterns and firework designs will be individually decorated by each student using the glitter, glue, paint, palettes, and sequins. The modeling clay will be used for each student to sculpt their own rabbit.

The Garfield books were added to this project because all of my students have taken an interest in these humorous books, and my current ones are falling apart. The computer mice were added to give out to incoming students in January so that they can easily navigate on their laptops. The batteries will be used to power the mice.
