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 demographics of my school consist of 65% Black students, 30% Hispanic or Latino students, 2% White students, 11% English Language Learners, and 33% of students with special needs. Most students come from low-income households or live in foster homes and shelters. Many families are single-parent households and working families. We are a Title I school in Harlem. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch daily. The students at my school are a mixture of different types of learners.
My students come from a diverse community.
I am a special education teacher for a bridged Kindergarten/1st-grade class. My students are special students with different needs. My hope is to get all the materials that my students need to support their learning styles!
My Project
Help me provide the students in my classroom with snacks that will fuel them to learn and comfort them when they are stressed. Throughout the day I have several students come to me and ask for snacks and beverages, I believe that by actually having these items, students will be able to focus on classroom lessons and materials instead of hunger and thirst. These snacks can also comfort them if they are going through problems.
Food can be fuel for learning and therapy for emotional stress.
Sometimes students come in without eating breakfast. Providing them with these breakfast food/snacks will help them to focus throughout the day. I believe that these snacks will help give my students the energy they need to complete assignments and engage in the lessons of the day.
