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 Students

Students come to my classroom from all walks of life. Some have been given the opportunity to travel the world with their military families, and others have never left the town they live in. I teach special education students, English language learners, college prep students, and honors level students.

C.

is a Title 1 school, 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Some students can't afford to buy the necessary supplies for class, some come to class everyday without something to write with. This year students have had to deal with larger class sizes, some reaching or exceeding 40 students. Even with these challenges our students are learning and excelling. I hope this project can help me help my students succeed.

My Project

US History covers almost 400 years of history. Students have to remember all this information on their End of Course test at the end of the semester. To make studying easier I copy all review sheets on blue paper. This makes it easier for students to locate in their binder, and they know blue paper days are for review. Although it's something simple, blue paper is a break from the monotony of the everyday.

Students read and annotate lots of primary source documents, political cartoons, and photographs.

Students need the necessary supplies to complete these tasks. Pencils, Hi-lighters, and expo markers are essential everyday tools that many of my students do not have.

Our district is trying to transition to 1:1 Chromebooks to students, however, some students cannot afford to pay the fees. As a core teacher, I am lucky enough to have additional Chromebooks for my students to use. Students often watch videos when completing WebQuests or listening to Tom Richey or Hip Hughes on Youtube for review. Some students have their own headphones, but others do not. Having headphones would allow more students to listen to audio when using the Chromebooks.
