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
The days of having students sit quietly at desks lined up in a row listening to lectures are long gone. My students thirst for hands-on learning. They enjoy working with their peers, participating in in-class projects, and being creative.
"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men"~Frederick Douglass.
Oftentimes, they don't come to school with the tangible tools they need to learn, and less now that they are at home for distance learning.
When these tools are provided, they thrive academically and socially. My school is located in a low-income area. Some students have trouble getting the materials they need to complete classroom assignments and projects. I don't take off points for not having materials. I do my best to provide each of my students with the tools they need to ensure equity and fairness.
My Project
This project would make a difference to our students and school because it teaches the students to be responsible individuals. The students would be able to safely explore, organize, and use the storage bins on a daily basis in each of their homes. The bins will make a difference in the efficiency of daily routines in and out of school. Students and parents will be able to access the accessories in order to continue procedures while they are doing virtual learning. General school supplies such as pencils, paper, whiteboard, markers, crayons, and manipulatives will be organized in the storage bins.
"It takes a village to raise a child".
My students need clocks and rulers to add to their math manipulatives that they will keep at home. My girls' robotic team needs the tape to create competition fields in their home. With your support, we will not let COVID stop us from learning and creating!
