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 very excitable. We spend our days learning to read, write, and count, but we also learn how to love, respect, and share. We work together on phonics, reading, writing, math, science, and social studies daily. We are going to master reading as well as achieve dreams!
We cherish our memorable moments such as hands-on experiences and edible experiments.
I am not afraid to laugh or be laughed at, and this connection of laughter keeps us close. The children truly live to learn and can make an adventure of almost anything!
I am a firm believer in this quote:
“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.”
-Rita Pierson
My students are in an area that needs a lot of attention. The children need the effort, the love, and the opportunity to succeed in the most imaginative way ever!
My Project
The goal of this project is to bless some families in my school's community that are in need. I recently discovered that 2 families in my classroom are in dire need of support such as utility and food assistance etc. This breaks my heart!
I already requested two space heaters in another project and in this project I am trying to provide them a little holiday cheer with warm socks for the kids at home and hot cocoa.
The project is requesting disposable cups that I will pair with hot cocoa and tea packets to warm their insides.
In addition, we have been teaching the students about good and services in social studies.
The project is requesting gift cards for 4 students. The students will be given the gift card to purchase themselves their own socks or scarves and gloves set from Amazon. They will follow up with writing sentences and illustrating the experience, as making the purchase will be a goods and service project experience.
The children will experience the purchasing of a good. They will also establish a sense of pride over their new materials as they will get to purchase them themselves.
The project is also requesting a blue tooth speaker for one child's laptop as they say the volume does not work and they cannot hear me while I teach. The materials will benefit the children directly and hopefully provide some much-needed assistance.
