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 composed of 5 boys and 5 girls, aged three, several are special needs. They hail from humble beginnings. They are inner-city urban youth who mostly come from single-parent low-income backgrounds. Despite this environmental obstacle, they are smart, creative, loving, and extremely motivated learners. The children in my classroom are like family. They show kindness and empathy towards each other daily. We are a Title 1 population.
They are curious and adventurous learners.
They are deserving of all support given.
Our project, "Mastering Math Operations Through Manipulatives" is a much needed ask.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
