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
We are a school in a low-income area. Many of our students don't have the basic necessities to come to school or the means to purchase necessary supplies. At our school, we often give out vouchers for free school uniforms because parents cannot afford to purchase uniforms. We have given out book bags filled with supplies to the most needy students so that they can have their basic classroom needs met. Other students may start with materials but lose track of them due to many housing moves throughout the year. The majority of the students receive a free or reduced-price lunch. I love my students’ desire to learn, their lack of resources can stifle the ability to do their best.
My Project
My students come to my class daily for academic tutoring. I am so proud of them and their effort. They put in so much effort to gain academic success in my class.
These snacks will be something that they grab on their way out of the door.
This will allow them to focus on learning instead of them focusing on being hungry in class. I want to help my students go further in their reading classes. They come to my class daily to get some help in math and reading. I offer remediation to them during the school day to help them catch up in their regular class.
