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 Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing practice assignments at home because of lack of supplies and resources.

Our school is nestled in the heart of western Kentucky, which has lots of low income families. Many parents struggle to find jobs, therefore can't afford to purchase school supplies or help their child at home.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

The kits will be made for each individual kit to have in the classroom and to take home to use for assignments they will have at home. These will also be benifical if we have to go back to NTI days.

I will be able to make them individual dry erase boards, fraction bars, base 10 blocks, fraction cubes, decimal cubes, operation cubes, multiplication charts, practice sheets, and a 5th grade math resorces page.

These will all go into a ziploc bag that they can take to and from school to use. These will also be easier for us to spray down and make sure that no germs are being spread at school. In previous years we have been able to share supplies but with the concern of Covid-19 each student needs their own individual set.
