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
Our school is a Title I school with 100% of the students eligible to receive free and reduced price lunch. Student success is the goal for every student and faculty member at our elementary school. We have an outstanding school where we believe that each child can and will grow to his/her full potential and become an independent learner through our dedication to high-quality, research-based best educational practices.
The environment of our grade is one that prepares each student to be successful in and outside of our classrooms.
We use what we learn inside our classrooms to be prepared citizens for the real world. Our best learning is accomplished when real-world experiences are at our fingertips.
My third-grade students are a diverse group. They all have their own learning styles, embrace their differences, and are dedicated to their learning.
The students learn best when they have individualized, real-world experiences that connect to their classroom learning. Many students have jobs around our school to show their pride for our school community.
My Project
COVID-19 can spread in numerous ways, especially when people are in close contact. Studies show that many individuals who are carrying the virus do not show symptoms, making it possible for them to spread the virus without realizing it. “Wearing a mask helps prevent those who have symptoms, like a cough, and those without symptoms, from spreading the virus to others when they express droplets from their nose or mouth through things like coughing, sneezing or speaking,”says Dr. Bal. “It can also help a person keep their hands away from their face, so they are less likely to infect themselves after touching a contaminated surface or person.” Masks may be required for students to return to school.
I am requesting funding to purchase student face masks so that all of my students can afford to have a fresh, clean face mask every day at school.
With the uncertainty surrounding us, we have to return to school this coming academic school year of 2020-2021. I am trying to keep my students safe everyday without adding stress or costs to my student's families. I want my classroom to be as safe as possible for my student's safety and their mental well being.
