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
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela.
Every day, my kids walk into my classroom so full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day.
They come from various cultures and economic statuses. My kids love to read and write. They just need the "write" tools. I want to give them the resources to read, write, draw, and to be as creative as they can be!
Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
My goal as an educator is to teach and provide the resources for my students to reach their given potential, in order for them to change the world.
My Project
These materials will help my students become successful readers, writers, scientists, mathematicians, and lifelong learners because they will be provided with the things they need to encourage and engage them in their learning experiences. They won't have to worry about having the basic supplies (pencils, dry erase markers, and paper) necessary to be successful. These supplies are essential for students. Without pencils, glue, and markers, my scholars cannot show me their learning. These materials will help my students become successful readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists and so much more.
My scholars will come to class and have resources ready for them to use.
These donations will help my scholars reach for the stars.
