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
I teach in an urban area school district in New Jersey. My students confront all of the challenges typically associated with this type of community. I invite you to put aside any preconceptions of the hardened disinterested innercity child as I enlighten you of their genuine kindness and caring. Despite the challenges heartaches and disappointments many of them have had to endure in their young lives, they treat each day as a blank slate and come to class excited to get to do over and make it better than before.
My Project
This project will help my students complete their projects and displays in a more professional manner. Often my kids are struggling to find materials and use pretty much anything they can get their hands on. I want to set a standard and a sense of pride in them.
Part of teaching science is teaching how to present research projects and display experimentation data properly.
Project-Based learning means a class must be supplied with the materials and tools to create the projects. I want to inspire them through hands-on projects and allow them to be creative and imaginative presenting their data That is best done if I am able to demonstrate examples for them using the correct materials.
