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

My biggest fear is one day I will walk into the school and find out I have lost one of my sweet students. I teach inner city students in Richmond, Virginia. The school sits in the middle of four city projects; on one side of the school is Oakwood Confederate Cemetery it covers 60 acres of land; on the other side is Richmond Juvenile Detention Center. All of the students that attend my school come from disadvantaged backgrounds and receive public assistance. I had to stop and ask myself how can I help my students grow to love literature? When many have deficits and trauma that hinder their learning.

Our school is 100% free breakfast, lunch, and many of the students receive bags of food to take home over the weekend.

During the summer when school is not in session there are locations in each project where students receive their breakfast, lunch, as well as dinner. The students from my school face many different hardships that as an adult we would not want to endure, let alone have to deal with on a daily basis.

When looking into the face of my students I see myself looking back.

My Project

This project will enable students the opportunity of using their imaginations to bring any book alive for them. Many of the students have a hard time with their imagination. I want to teach my student to use their thoughts about a story and creating something in 3D. This project will give them the needed skills for critical thinking students will be creating a 3D object or choosing two of the following, report, create a living museum, create a brochure, write a play or a family tree. This will enable students to uses their imagination of what they have read.his Students will have the opportunity after reading a chapter book to complete two of the following projects; create a 3D object from their understanding of their readings, write a report, create a living museum, create a brochure, write a play or a family tree. This will enable students to uses their imagination of what they have read.
