My Project

As winter begins, many of my students are simply happy to just be healthy. As Covid-19 cases begin to increase once again, many of my students are missing school and resorting to online learning again. There are many donors that are matching the gifts given to this project. Our students are stressed, depressed, and simply not willing to engage in learning behind a computer screen as much as they would like to attend in person. However, as of late we have been making gains in motivating students to continue striving regardless of the platform being used thanks to your wonderful donations. With your donation, I plan to use the Amazon gift cards as part of my token economy and reward students with an Amazon gift card to purchase any book written by a Black author or illustrator of their choice for STEM reading. The gift cards have been an invaluable asset to the learning in my classroom. They would earn the gift card by attending class on a regular basis with a positive attitude. I'm positive that many of my students would appreciate this at a high level so I'm thanking you in advance.
