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 seventh and eighth grade students come to school carrying piles of stress and the impact of tragedies on their shoulders. They face more troubles in their short lives than I would hope to face in a lifetime. Yet, despite their hardships, they continue to amaze me.
My students attend school in a building that is over 100 years old with a lack of resources, yet they harness the potential to change the world.
They just need access to resources to reach and realize their full potential. Now that is where amazing people like you come in.
My Project
COVID 19 has impacted the lives of people across the world. Right now, my students are home and I’m unsure if I’ll be welcoming them back into my classroom again this school year. Living in such a time of uncertainty is scary and confusing. However, when I do welcome them back into my room, whether it be in 30 days or in September, I want them to have a fresh start. Notebooks are our way to document our learning and growth. We use them each day and refer to them for years to come.
