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
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I want to provide my students with engaging learning experiences.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status.
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day.
My Project
We need copy paper in order to equip our students with the necessary worksheets and materials that curriculum calls for. In kindergarten, our students complete many cut and paste activities, which calls for a lot of paper. As the school year kicks off, and classes are in full effect, our school supply of paper begins to run low. Teachers are forced to spend their own money out of pocket in order to make the necessary copies for their classes, or do without the copies. Please help provide our school with much needed copy paper in order to promote the success of all our students. Your generosity and kindness is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
