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 Project
How many times have you been tempted to open up a watch, phone, or toy to see how it works? Or you may have just been curious about taking something apart and putting it back together.
Students learn by exploring; they need to be able to see, do, and redo!
Help me get tools that will allow my newcomers to explore language communication through working on familiar objects with their peers.
Many of my students come from low-income homes and a few are newcomers to the States. Supporting our classroom will help greatly in assisting in common communication with other students. For my students that are new to this country, the benefits of this project would help them build confidence. This project will allow students to take old items, open them up, and explore how they work. The headlamps will give them the opportunity to see the different gears inside up close. The screwdrivers and tweezers will allow them to get in and take out parts of the object. They will use the magnetic pans to hold the metal pieces so they are not lost. The label maker will be used to label objects to be used in both English and Spanish. With this project, my students will be exploring these objects with peers that speak different languages. I am hoping that through this project, my students develop an interest in helping my newcomers adjust to their new community through working together.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
