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
I have been teaching for 16 years, and I still enjoy going to work every morning. Some days I don't see how I'm making a difference, but my students let me know I do. I'm always working in my classroom, and with my students, to improve my teaching style to better serve them.
My school is a Title I school with a 95% African American population.
My students are good readers, but struggle with comprehension especially with informational text. They also do not have a large academic vocabulary background and their critical-thinking skills are weak.
My Project
As an educator we are sometimes faced with challenges when providing academic lessons. It is hard to give students the skills or materials needed in a world of technology. I need engaging activities to keep their attention.
I believe that having Language Arts and Math engaging activities that provide research-based strategies will allow my students an opportunity to improve their skills.
The learning activities that I am requesting are designed to help students learn and review math and language standards through a Spiral Review of new and old skills. I will also need computer ink to print these resources from a digital file.
