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 beautiful and brilliant. Our class consists of multi-level learners. Our school is a high-poverty, Title I school, meaning that one hundred percent of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A fraction of my students are homeless and many of my other students have houses or apartments they share with one or more families. Some of my students do not have a bed to sleep on. I've noticed they are hungry in the mornings and by midday. We are an extended day school where the kids stay later than a usual school dismissal time.
Our school is located in a high-poverty neighborhood.
My students work very hard every day. Our class has a ninety-eight percent attendance rate, which means the students rarely miss school. We value our learning time.
My students come from multi-ethnic backgrounds, each with distinctive cultural traditions. In our classroom, we blend our traditions to form strong community ties.
My Project
I teach a fourth grade class that's within a school of about 800 students. We have a diverse population and have a great school community.
Each year I do a year long project with my class to show all of the creative lesson and projects that they complete.
I take lots of pictures of them doing these projects to make their own individual scrapbooks by the end of the year. We will use the photo folders to post pictures on the bulletin boards. This year we do not have photo paper or photo envelopes. We are making fraction pizza and we would like to post our photos.
If we can find someone to donate to our project, I'll be able to continue this project with students entering the fourth grade next year.
Your help will continue to give each fourth grade student the opportunity to remember their special projects and hard work completed during their school year.
