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 are the epitome of triumph and resilience. With poverty and gun violence plaguing our community, students still enter the building every day eager to learn and make a positive impact on our school. Students ask many questions about math and science and draw real world connections to their life experiences.
I want to continue to foster my students' inquisitiveness and excitement by allowing them to work collaboratively to solve performance tasks.
Performance tasks increase the rigor of our classroom by allowing students to think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, and communicate effectively.
My Project
My students have started a community garden and a community fridge. The garden was started by my students themselves and so was the refrigerator. We get a lot of donors that donate goods for the garden and refrigerator.
My students need a tablet and keyboard to crate flyers so that they get more members of the community to come to the garden and get food.
The resources on the tablet will allow them to create beautiful attractive fliers that catch the attention of the people in our community. They are only getting attention by word of mouth, but they want to impact a larger group.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mr. Pratt and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
