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 attend a Title I school, where 100% of the students receive free lunch. Most of my students struggle with reading fluency and comprehension. Many students come in with a lack of confidence to be successful readers. My students are aware of their deficits but are incredibly motivated to do well and overcome obstacles that may be thrown their way. Therefore, I want to be able to support each student with the necessary resources they need to be successful.
My Project
Solar energy is a major renewable energy source with the potential to meet many of the challenges facing the world today. Therefore, if this project is funded, students in grades 3 -5 will design a product that uses solar energy to help improve our daily lifestyles. They will also research efficient model designs to generate ideas for their project as well as write a proposal for their invention. Upon the completion of this project, students will invite their parents, friends, and corporate leaders in the community to a fun-filled night of innovation, as they showcase their solar energy projects. Hopefully, this learning experience will prepare students for the future and help save our planet.
