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
100 percent of our students come from low-income single-parent homes and they have high needs, but they have even higher hopes! Our school is in the heart of downtown and serves two public housing projects where many of our kids live. Some of their most basic needs like uniforms, food, or even shelter are oftentimes not met, but they are kind, caring, loving students who are willing to learn and grow
Our students may have high needs, but we have high hopes that each student can and will be successful!
It's critical that we make sure they reach their greatest potential and empower them to be the best that they can be! We don't pity, We empower!
My Project
Help me give my students an adventure to experience the world beyond the classroom using books and a once-in-a-lifetime field trip experience! The goal of this project and lesson aims to bring exposure to diversity through travel and bridge the gap for young black kids to learn more about the world. The students will have the opportunity to read and do some book studies about black characters that travel and also the opportunity to experience an out-of-town field trip. Many of our students have not ventured outside of their 4 blocks and this project aims to change that! Providing luggage to a few students who may not have more than a school-issued bookbag will help make the field trip experience more memorable.
