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 Students

"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." This quote by Ignacio Estrada represents my teaching philosophy. Teaching and education is not one size fits all. I would like the students to explore their artistic talents as they learn about the Holocaust.

I have diverse group of 65 sixth grade students, many of which are living in poverty.

My students range in ability from those who need special education services to those that qualify for the gifted program. All students work diligently to master the grade level reading and writing objectives.

My Project

We are requesting art materials in order to create individual memorial boxes and class murals. After exploring symbolism in art, students will select objects, images, and papers to represent their Holocaust victims and survivors symbolically and literally. Classes will collaborate, design, and construct a mural commemorating the Holocaust. Students will display the memorial boxes with their original poetry and murals at the Holocaust art exhibit.

My students don't often have the opportunity to use art to represent their knowledge.

This assignment will motivate and inspire all students. However, it is the students who struggle with reading or writing, but have natural artistic abilities who will rise and shine among their peers.
