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 classroom is located in a middle school in a very low-income area of our city. My kids usually have a difficult time acquiring even the most basic of educational supplies such as paper and pencils, never mind creative supplies such as calculators, paper, markers, and colored pencils.
They are great kids that can really benefit from extra school supplies at their disposal.
Each day our kids come to school and are usually unprepared for the day. Whenever a teacher can provide missing resources, it is a win for them.
My Project
This project will make a difference to our students because it will provide them with a new resource that they can enjoy and be proud of. Many of the materials and resources we have are used or second hand. New materials give our kids a reason to come to school and have fun while learning. This project will provide our kids with a great resource that can be used on a daily basis. These materials will help advance their academic careers by providing them with new resources.
These bongo drums will be a great resource for our music class and our school band.
They are an item that can't fit in our budget and that the kids would get a ton of use out of. These will also be great in our special education classrooms where they will be used for rhythm and sequencing lessons.
