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 high school math students are from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, but that does not stop them from dreaming big. They are passionate, energetic, and hilarious, and they keep me on my toes with their thoughts and questions.
To make their dreams a reality, we have a long way to go.
The list of opportunities we have to assist them on this journey is long, and many of their needs other schools may take for granted. Thankfully, this allows us to do a lot with a little.
Each day, my students are striving to adopt a growth mindset allowing them to stand up to the task of getting college and career ready in a few short years. With your help, these students with great opportunity can reach their potential.
My Project
Everyday I have a DO NOW assignment on my board that my students are to get started on immediately upon entering my classroom. This helps set the tone for class and is a "warm up" for the rest of the class period.
The nature of my DO NOW assignments can take a variety of forms.
Sometimes I ask students to complete a brain teaser on a whiteboard. Other times I ask them to work a problem on a note card and we do "My Favorite No" where I sift through all of the answers for my favorite incorrect answer that we review. This allows all students, even those who got the problem wrong, access to the work.
To continue to effectively execute my DO NOW assignments, my students and I need new and better white boards, markers, and erasers as well as more note cards since we use them so often. Help me help my students get warmed up for class!
