Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
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 Project
My students are incredibly curious and eager to learn, but many lack access to high-quality science resources that align with the NGSS standards for fifth grade. By providing them with science books tailored to these standards, I can ignite their passion for discovery and inquiry-based learning. Each resource requested will serve as a gateway to exploring complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible way, helping them develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where every student feels empowered to explore, question, and discover the wonders of science. What makes my students special is their resilience and enthusiasm for learning despite facing various academic challenges. With the right resources, I know they can reach their full potential and excel in science and beyond.
