My Project

Teaching in a reservation area has a lot of struggle, but a the same time a fun memory that I can cherish as a teacher. To be honest, most of my students have their unique potential to learn a lot of things, and as a teacher, I wanted to motivate them by giving positive reinforcement like food, credit points, and nice words.

When I bought a bag of chips as part of my prize for classroom activity, I noticed that most of my students become competitive, awaken their awareness by participating in class, started to take responsibility as a leader, and most especially the eagerness of learning, but as a teacher it is so hard for me to give positive reinforcement, if I don't have enough resources.

As we start our second semester, I hope that you will help me motivate my Diné students to learn more about Social Studies, by helping me to provide food, and resources that we need inside our classroom.

Grades 9-12
