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

I teach gifted elementary students ranging from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Each day is a different group of students as I visit five schools. Many of my students come from low social economic families, as all five schools are Title I Schools.

Through project-based learning, students discover cultures, continents, and various science topics in addition to ELA (English Language Arts) and math topics.

When we meet in person, I have the ability to provide all the resources needed. As we move into Remote Learning, I am struggling to find materials to send home with each student.

We are learning about geography, cultures, maps, butterfly cycle, geology, volcanoes, the scientific method, and so much more. I'd love to provide the resources for my students to continue our studies during this time.

My Project

Not all of my students have internet access either due to financial restrictions or rural living. We are entering our Geology Unit soon. My students need resources available at home to properly learn. The books will help guide them through our assignments during this time.

Lessons will require reading and evaluating text as we explore the many areas of Geology to include the rock cycle, plate tectonics, minerals, volcanoes, fossil fuels, and careers.

We will have discussions and activities through email, texting, and/or our Google classroom.

The goal is to meet all of my students needs, not just those able to use the internet. Providing books for use at home, will help me meet everyone's needs.
