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
As a teacher, making sure my students feel loved is important. Making them feel loved is not hard to do and it is not some big spectacle or store-bought item. I always greet every one of my students with a smile. I always comment on their new haircuts or tell them how proud I am of their achievements. Sometimes I give out high fives and hugs. Other times it might be a special handshake. You would be surprised just how far a little gesture goes. I tell them all the time that we are a family and we need to lift each other up.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school, it warms my heart to see them learn a lot of things that they may forget, but they'll know when they leave my classroom that they were loved.
They are determined to do their very best! In order for them to be their best , they must have all of the right materials.
My Project
Many students are forced to deal with the anxiety that accompanies living without day-to-day necessities, often making school the least of their worries. The comfort kits give students the resources they need to learn and grow, allowing them to devote their energy and attention toward succeeding in school.
Comfort kits would be the first line of resources to be used in any scenario when students arrive at school without having eaten or properly prepared themselves for the day.
The items in the comfort kits will provide them with foods that are familiar and palatable to them and items that would help them stay calm.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
