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 walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I want my students to know I believe in them and they can do anything.
I teach at a Title I school in Baltimore City where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
My Project
My students are in need of instructional supplies such as dry erase erasers, clip boards, and binders to track their progress. Students also need literacy and math materials to enhance their learning and give them an opportunity to practice skills they are struggling with. These materials are not only motivating and engaging but they are necessary to help students visualize concepts that they may not understand otherwise. These materials will also be allowed to be checked out so that students can practice the skill with parents or siblings to get outside members engaged in what students are learning at school.
