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
I teach at a model school that incorporates performing arts, visual arts, coding, computer science, financial literacy, and STEM (STEAM) within the curriculum. Our urban school receives federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast and lunch for every student, and Title I services to economically disadvantaged boys and girls.
We are a class that includes military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, inclusion/special education students, and the tech savvy.
My students are energetic and very busy within the classroom. Even with parental support, I would love to say that my students have everything that they need to be successful. But they don't. We are preparing students for college, the workforce, and the world beyond, so they can have a better life.
My Project
It is that time of the school year! We have been working so hard to learn about the history of Virginia, how to comprehend fiction and non-fiction, add/subtract numbers, and about those frustrating fractions. I believe in my students and I know that they believe in themselves.
Please help me to show them that they are ready to shock our learning community!
I am requesting t-shirts that have positive, motivating slogans on them. Each student will have their own t-shirts to wear on those testing days. Wearing the same shirts will show unity and support. I am also asking for a Selfie banner that students will post pictures of themselves and allow their fellow students to leave messages of encouragement. We also need fruit snacks and mints for brain breaks during our testing sessions.
