Just the Basics!

My students need the basics, such as pencils and crayons, in order to be successful in school.

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

Next year I will be moving up to 3rd grade! My school is in a low income urban area serving students from K-5, who are predominantly African American.

Since I will be looping with my class I know that they will be just as excited to learn next year as they were this year.

My students are on a variety of levels academically. With such a wide range of academic levels we need to use various methods to provide support. We will spend this year growing as individuals socially and academically.

My Project

Working at a Title I school one-hundred percent of our students' families are economically disadvantaged and qualify for free lunch. As a result many of my students do not have some of the basic supplies needed for school. I have seen students go from excited to be in school to angry because they didn't have what they needed.

I believe every student should have what they need to be successful.

In my classroom it means we all have the necessary tools to accomplish daily goals. Through this project I would like to create a class supply of pencils and crayons so that my students have what they need.
