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
We are a Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. Our second-grade scholars live in a high poverty neighborhood. Our community is located in an inner-city area. About 85% of our students identify as African American, 5% Latino, 2% White, 1% Asian, and 9% multi-racial.
Labels and test scores do an injustice to our scholars and teachers.
My scholars and I refuse to accept failure. If you could see our children, you would understand that they are full of potential and that they are future leaders and innovators. Our students are perseverant, motivated, enthusiastic, and driven to succeed. We will bridge the poverty gap, and they will achieve!
My Project
Our second grade scholars are setting goals in math and working hard to achieve them!
Our children are succeeding and they need to be recognized for their achievements!
Each week, our second graders take a progress monitoring assessment to measure their progress in computation and math concepts. Each child sets goals for themselves and develops an action plan to reach their goals. When children reach their short, and long, term goals it is time to celebrate their efforts. With your help, we will have a variety of trophies to present to our math masters! We will use the printer to print certificates and photographs celebrating our progress. The foil stickers will give our certificates an extra special touch signifying the importance of our achievements!
