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
My students are a wonderful group of 2nd graders. They attend an urban school where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. The students come from many different backgrounds and face many different challenges in their day to day lives.
There are many single income families, families that are receiving assistance in one form or another, and families that are or were homeless at one time.
Regardless of the challenges these students face, they always come to school with smiles on their faces. They are eager to learn and when given an even playing field, they are capable of great things! I want to help even the field for them and their education.
My Project
My students have a difficult time fighting the colds and germs that tend to be found in a classroom. The hand sanitizer, Kleenex and wipes I requested will help them to stay healthy and not miss as many days of school. The supplies will help to teach my students basic habits to fight colds like keeping your hands clean.
A clean classroom environment is also essential to a good learning environment.
The broom, dusters, swifter, and paper towels I requested will enable us to keep our classroom clean and organized. The students enjoy being in charge of their learning environment and it helps to teach them responsibility.
