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
A typical day in my classroom runs like the Polar Express. There are surprises, magic, and trust all rolling along on an unpredictable track. My students believe in their own magic for learning new things. It's the little things that make all the difference in a classroom.
My students live in a high-poverty neighborhood with more challenges than anyone could ever know.
These young children are faced with problems that are even too overwhelming for most adults to handle. The students come from all different backgrounds, but most come from homes where there are economic struggles. They desperately want to learn and just need the tools to do so.
My Project
Post-It notes are an incredibly useful tool, especially in classrooms! Who doesn’t love Post-Its? They come in several sizes, many colors, and best of all….they stick!
Students can use Post-its as a bookmark, record their reading response while reading: interesting words, favorite parts, questions, inferences, connections, etc.
Students can use in class polls. Students can use the Post-its for brainstorming. Students can even map out the plot of a story.
My students also need pencils. Also, folders are needed because my students cannot afford simple materials that they need to be academically successful.
Most of my students cannot afford to purchase pencils so we are asking for a few cases of pencils for our classroom.
Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves and it all starts with a few ESSENTIALS!
