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 students attend a Title I school in Brooklyn, New York. They are a very diverse group of children from many cultures. My students are living in high poverty from low, socioeconomic backgrounds.
My students are eager, enthusiastic and extremely interested in finding out how things work.
During science, my students are always asking, "How?" and "Why?" Hands-on activities allow my students to learn, develop concepts and appreciate science, engineering and math education. They have the desire to learn and succeed, but they need the materials to achieve.
My Project
My students will use their notebooks to record their science, technology, engineering and mathematics investigations. They will be able to take notes, write about their investigations, collect and analyze data, draw diagrams and construct graphs. These notebooks will also allow my students to organize and attach all of their hand-outs inside their books. These notebooks will help build the foundation of science concepts and keep track of hands-on explorations. These donations will provide a composition notebook for each of my students.
Notebooks will provide all of my students ownership of their work and help them become scientists, engineers, artists and mathematicians.
