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

Our school motto is "Our future begins here". Shouldn't students have every advantage in order to succeed? My students need the opportunity to learn in the best environment possible.

I teach in a large, diverse K-8 school in a high poverty area in Philadelphia where all of the children are eligible for free lunch.

They have various abilities, and I want all of my students to be the best they can be. In order to make that happen, I would like to provide them with the tools necessary to succeed.

My Project

My school district has been 100% virtual since the beginning of the school year. We thought that we were going to switch to a hybrid model at the end of November. However, the increasing number of Covid cases has put these plans on hold.

I want to make sure that my students have the materials they need while they are learning at home.

Math concepts have been made more difficult to teach due to being online. Usually at school, these concepts would be reinforced by using various manipulatives. By being at home, my students don't have access to things such as number lines, number charts, and counters. This project would supply my students with math toolkits that will help them become more confident in their math skills.

Please help me, help them become all that they can be. Their future begins here.
