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
Enthusiasm to learn. I have seen tremendous growth from August til now. The students have been lacking formal in-person instruction for over a year so its refreshing to see the "light bulb" flash. I look forward to bringing more quality structure to assist with my small group instruction.
My Project
With the Power Pens and quiz cards, students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology-literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology! My students already have shown an astonishing interest in wanting to learn their letters and sounds and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word. The Power Pens will help them develop their fine motor skills.
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
