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 have a single-gender classroom - all girls. Their age range is 10 to 12. They are actively receptive as learners of factual information and often love to memorize. They enjoy participating in group activities, but yes they are girls so they have disagreements, too. However, we work on problem-solving strategies so this is minimal.
They are all unique in their own way and eager to learn and often put forth their best effort.
We are a multi-cultural classroom, so we share our culture and ensure that everyone is treated fairly. We are one big happy family.
My Project
Every year my fifth graders take a field trip to Washington DC. This year is no exception. This year we leave on March 29, 2020 and return on March 31, 2020. We will visit different Smithsonian museums of our choice.
Most, if not all, my students have never left the city of Winston Salem much less to leave the state of North Carolina and this field trip will help them to explore the busy city of Washington DC which will, in turn, help them to get an experience of a lifetime and help them to become explorers and better writers.
These snacks will be packaged and issued to students over a 3 day/s period while we are on the road/on the go as we are busy walking every day for 3 days.
