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 seventh and eighth grade students come to school carrying piles of stress and the impact of tragedies on their shoulders. They face more troubles in their short lives than I would hope to face in a lifetime. Yet, despite their hardships, they continue to amaze me.
My students attend school in a building that is over 100 years old with a lack of resources; yet, they harness the potential to change the world.
They just need access to resources to reach and realize their full potential. Now, that is where amazing people like you come in.
My Project
Cardstock is a great tool to create bookmarks for important pages, note pages that will last a school year, and for reference guides that students can utilize throughout the school year.
The students will be using the cardstock to help organize their math notebooks/math logs.
Because cardstock is a different texture and weight than regular printer paper, it will last longer. It can also be used to help students differentiate between one section of their notes and another (such as the difference between one skill and another). Moreover, the bright color of the paper will allow students to create a more pleasing reference guide in their math notebook/math log. Who doesn't love bright colored paper?
