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 attend a low-income, low-performing school in the southwest region of D.C. My school as a whole is underfunded and in extreme need of materials.
My students are multiple years below grade level in reading and math and they are in need of intensive small group instruction.
This requires me to have a lot of different materials on hand every day. I need to provide my students with basic materials along with books and math manipulatives so that they can feel cared for and have what they need to be successful in school.
My Project
Basic supplies are often hard to come by in a public school setting. We need to make sure that students always have pencils to use and copies of their work to complete each day, yet getting enough ink to print these copies is not always easy to obtain. Working with two different classes of fifth graders each day, we work through a lot of pencils. We are in desperate need of more pencils as a result. There are also some wonderful books and articles that students could benefit from, but without printer ink, getting them to my students can be hard. That is why I am requesting printer ink and pencils to help make sure that neither of these materials keeps us from our best learning.
