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 are curious, enthusiastic, funny, unique and creative thinkers. They come to school everyday excited to learn. They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions.
They are inquisitive about the world around them, so I strive to broaden their horizons and challenge their minds.
We actively work on STEAM assignments incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies and group activities.
My Project
As an educator, I fully understand the impact of having the right materials to accompany a lesson. It enhances the lesson. My students learn so much more when they are allowed to be creative. I have seen the very successful results. The students are fully engaged and participation is wonderful.
I have seen student skills advance significantly when they are allowed to design, discuss and communicate with each other.
The pencils and spiral notebooks will be used to take notes and complete homework and class assignments. The students will use the chart paper and markers to create hands-on projects that will be displayed around the classroom.
Therefore, I am asking for your support by helping me provide materials so my students can communicate, collaborate, critically think and be creative. With the acquisition of these materials, I shall be empowered to design lessons that show off my students' original works.
