Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 come from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Some have limited English proficiency and some have limited resources to read at home. My students will be going from fully virtual to in-person learning next school year. Teachers will have a major impact on that success.

Testing incentives will help students to push themselves and give them motivation.

The incentives will be given for students with A/B passing or improved test scores from the last administration.

These incentives provide a motivation to those who are already doing well or the scholars who need to improve. Please help me give them a little extra reward for doing the outstanding job I know they will! The art kits, robot kits, and books will be considered larger items. Larger items will be raffled through a tiered reward system (A=4 tickets, B=3 tickets, improvement = 2 tickets) and smaller items will be distributed for passing. Items such as fidgets, stickers, and candy are smaller ticket items

Thank you so much for your kindness and support while we work hard to get out scholars on the right track for success.
