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 classroom is part of a Head Start Program in a Headstart through 5th-grade school in North Miami. I serve up to 20 children, with inadequate technology resources to reach the students' full potential.
Our beautiful school has a high number of students who are first-generation immigrants from Haiti.
In funding this project, these children will have access to their daily activities and make much more progress in their learning growth. Each student has great potential for learning, and this project will enhance their ability to excel.
My Project
This month, our school was officially designated a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) school. We are so excited that we made the requirements on our second try. Because all disciplines/subjects are intertwined/related, applied sciences will have to be infiltrated in every area, starting as early as with our Pre-K students.
Although I am very excited to be part of the solution, the weight of Pre-K being looked upon as the learning foundation or stepping stone seems heavy as my classroom lacks most of the early learning science resources, manipulatives, and technology to make STEAM in our Pre-K science curriculum a success.
The list for early learning scientific materials for my students was so incredibly long, that I decided to break the projects into two affordable project chunks.
In part two, I am requesting 25 headphones for our science exploration and listening/technology centers. We also are requesting magnets and additional jumbo farm animal manipulatives for our science exploration. Please donate and help me build and enrich the science curriculum and science exploration experiences for my Pre-K students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
