Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

My students are awesome students. I love to think of ways to capture and maintain their attention and make learning fun. They deserve the best. I want to show them learning can be fun. The supplies I selected will keep them engaged, teach them to work collaboratively and help them retain the concepts and skills taught in class. The learning outcome in STEM is for students to analyze a problem and come up with solutions to the problems.

In financial literacy and STEM, it's a lot of vocabulary of words they may not have heard of, with the items selected students will have hands on activities that are fun.

They will be able to work in teams, use critical thinking skills to make decisions. These activities and supplies will have my quiet students engaged and interacting in class. Having these items will bring excitement in the lessons and make their learning come to life.
