Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

Most of the supplies that I have requested are things that I have run out of this year. One thing I really love to do is allow my students to be creative in how they show their learning through academic choice. This requires a variety of materials.

I would also like to place a large emphasis on STEM learning.

I have noticed that students struggle with the engineering design process and solving problems with given materials. I am hoping that setting aside time each week for STEM challenges will help students become more creative and think outside the box when it comes to solving problems and designing solutions. In conjunction with STEM, I would like to have a Thinking Classroom in regards to teaching math.

I have also requested some board games for my classroom. I have noticed that students need this time for socialization, problem solving, communication, and just having fun.
