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 Project

The use of pencil and paper in literacy small groups is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in hands on independent learning. Using the organizational mailboxes in our ELA classes, students will have a safe place to easily access their completed and/or graded work from guided practice. The mailboxes will allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that papers seem to disappear, and graded papers mixed up. By having an individual and organized area to store materials, students will also be able to exchange and receive feedback from the teacher. The Amazon Fire tablet will be used to engage students in digital writing by responding to emails sent by teacher as well as receiving motivational morning messages. This will boost their language skills as well.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student organizational skills, you will ultimately also help to increase their academic achievement.

In additionalt o the student mailboxes, the Sterilite containers will be used to store literacy games, classroom supplies, and reading portfolios. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are missing or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
