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
My Kindergarten class at our elementary school consists of 25 students. Our school is considered a low-performing school, however, my students are excited and eager to learn new things. It has been my struggle to fill in the gaps with students during this pandemic. The majority of my students come from low-income households and do not have access to these materials. It is my duty to provide my students with multiple opportunities for growth and development into skilled readers.
My Project
The materials and supplies I am requesting will really benefit the students' needs. In this classroom, we have about 75% of the class below grade level. With these supplies, I will be able to give better demonstrations and provide hands-on experiences. I will also be able to create home kits for students who need extra assistance. Using the dry erase boards students will be able to do a variety of interactive activities that will support their learning needs.
No matter what the students may grow up to be or do they will always use their math and reading skills.
Providing the students with tracing letters and blocks will help them read and write better. Reading, counting, and writing are skills students will use every day. Students are required to read a different book every day to help enhance their reading skills. The books I have requested will support the science of reading governed by the state of Arkansas. Thus, helping the students to grow and develop into fluent readers. The books I have chosen will also give me the ability to expose students to different genres.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
