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 all unique in many ways. Some are good listeners. Some try extremely hard. Some have behavior problems. Some need reminding to focus. And some need accommodations. But they can all learn and given the appropriate accommodations, technology, and tools they can all be successful.
My students try hard but school work is not always easy and many need accommodations to help them accomplish success.
Our school is a Title 1 middle school comprised of students from four neighboring elementary schools. We are close to a large military base, but many of our students live in economically challenged neighborhoods.
Everything is not rosy, but there is a lot of caring and dedicated teachers who have devoted their time and effort to our students. Besides strong highly-effective teachers, our school has 100 students in Special Education and 44 English Language Learners. They require interventions to be successful and exposure to a wide variety of learning activities/tools to encourage each student's success.
My Project
These supplies will provide our classroom with materials that will make classroom management easier.
Since my students come from lower economic backgrounds, they can't supply needed materials, so this project will help our classroom run smoothly.
We need sheet protectors to help the students binders stay organized. The Expo markers and erasers we'll use for working out problems on the board. I will make classroom posters of ELA and math strategies with the jumbo post-it-notes and Sharpie markers. I need extra calculators for the extra math students I received this month because now I don't have enough to go around. The tape and the paper clips are used daily for securing various materials. And finally, the big bags will store the materials not being used.
