Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

At our school , we believe that mathematics is broad and multidimensional. We strive to build classrooms that account for all the ways that students can be mathematical. In all classrooms, you will see that our students love to explore, discover, question, and analyze the world around them from many perspectives.

In doing this, our students have a strong love for math and science.

They are consistently asking for more cool projects or extensions, and they love to challenge themselves and each other. It's a pleasure watching them fight over the hardest problem to do, or which person gets to go first on Set (if you haven't played this game you need to immediately). Our wish, as we ask for donations is that we build a strong library of manipulatives and centers that students and teachers in any grade can use to scaffold or extend learning in their lessons or small group instruction.

My Project

It's no secret that being a teacher is super hard and at many times it can be stressful trying to make sure that every child gets exactly what they need. This is part one of series that is going to help our staff to continue to work hard for our students, but also will allow them to work smarter and not have to spend their own money.

This laminator will be used to create engaging materials for students that we can use for many years.

It will help teachers to not feel like to have to create everything, every year. This lamination machine will also be used to create the center materials that we can't afford to buy.
