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

My students are amazing! They are so inquisitive, and love asking questions. It is amazing how their minds work and how they are like sponges every day. A handful of my young men are very much into making cellphones, gameboys, and anything electronic. Making it all with paper and markers. And they love to share it with me and the other students.

I have two young men that are talented artists and writers.

They have written comics and drawn illustrations that are unbelievable! SO much talent and creativity. And the girls are such breaths of fresh air. They love to read. And talk. I use reading and writing paragraphs for morning work. They love to make up stories about themselves so I frequently give them reading prompts and then let them read them out loud to the class. This is one of my favorite assignments because this is when I REALLY learn who they are and what kind of hearts they have

My Project

My wonderful, creative students have been working so hard this year that I thought they needed a new creative outlet. I hope the Lego's will be a tool to help grow their imaginations as well as motivate them to do well in class . I cant wait to see their eyes light up when they make something tangible that shows their own creativity.

We have used almost all of our expo markers for math, because they love using their personal whiteboards to follow along as we study math.

Our refrigerator went out so we have nowhere to keep drinks, lunches, snacks cold. Thank you in advance for any help.
