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
Our students attend a Title I school. We are an inner city charter school which was recently named a Priority school. The students come each morning with smiles on their faces and stories and hugs to share.
The kindergarten students are like ocean sponges.
They want to soak up knowledge and new experiences. They are ready to learn as much as they can. By the time they walk into school, they have overcome the struggles of poverty, broken homes and homelessness. Our charter school strives to meet all needs of our learners. We are a small school with big futures.
My Project
The kindergarten students will use the crayons every day. We are a Daily 5 school so they write in their journals each day. As beginning writers, that includes a detailed picture. We will use the crayons for making beautiful pictures to write about. We will use the crayons to complete worksheets and art projects. We need folders to take our work home and bring important papers back to school.
By getting new Crayola crayons the students will be able to have crayons that show true colors in their work.
They won't have to use broken stubs every day. The new plastic folders will protect their work so it can be taken home.
Nearly all 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
