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
Imagine being excited to learn, but lacking the basic supplies to do your assignments. That is what many students face. So, to make sure all of the students in my class have proper materials for school, I would like to provide them with basic school supplies.
My students are a great bunch of first grade children.
They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The students from my class come from low income households that cannot always afford the materials they need to learn at school. All of them love learning and are excited to find out new things.
All of the students in my class live in the historic, culturally diverse neighborhood around our school. Our school is a community charter school. The parents choose our school as an opportunity for their children that is an alternative to the local public schools. Children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade attend our school.
My Project
These resources will be used every day by the students. The notebooks will be used for their reading and math work. The folders will hold their papers. The students will be able to learn organizational skills by having color coded notebooks and folders. The pencil pouch will hold the pencils, crayons, scissors, glue sticks and dry erase markers that the students use as tools for their lessons. This will help them to have their materials handy, in an organized and neat way. Giving the students basic supplies will ensure that all of the students in my class have an equal start and have the supplies and materials that they need to learn to the best of their abilities.
These materials will improve my classroom by giving the students the basic tools they need to complete their school assignments.
The folders, notebooks and pouch will help the students to learn organizational skills. The pencils, crayons, glue, scissors and dry erase markers are the every day tools used in a first grade classroom.
