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 Project

I love that my students come to school even though they face many obstacles each and every day. Living in the highest HIV and sex trafficking area is not easy, but most of my students do not have a choice. The chips, cookies, juice, and water will be used as a reward to thank my scholars for their hard work and dedication this school year. For the first time, the majority of my students completed homework at least 1-2 times or more during the week.

Students preparing to matriculate to high school is a little scary and exciting at the same time.

I want to celebrate them in a special way because they deserve it.

My students earned these rewards, and I'm hoping that this celebration will help motivate and encourage them to not only attend high school but graduate. Keeping students engaged while learning Math concepts is still a huge challenge. Giving out snacks as a reward typically helps to boost class performance and encourages students to keep trying even when they want to give up. Hopefully, these incentives will inspire the students to continue to build and increase their intellectual knowledge as they continue their educational journey and become productive citizens.
