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 are young, bright, amazing students. They are growing, learning, and engaging in new things every day. As children of the 21st century, learning and rigor are at an all time high, and my students need new materials and resources to reach new levels of knowledge. I tell my students that doing good has something to do with feeling good. They are leaving behind much of the play of preschool and kindergarten and diving deeper into developing critical academic skills.
My school is a Title I school, and the majority of students come from a low economic status.
90% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students are growing up in single parent homes or with foster parents. Some students are faced with several challenges, both in and outside of our classroom. Despite so many hardships, my students are excited to learn and do their best!
My Project
There are very few materials and manipulatives available at my school to use for our Weather and Seasons science unit. I want my students to be able to fully engage and explore in their learnings.
Children are hands-on learners.
The world around them provides so many natural opportunities to explore and learn. The Seasons and Weather theme box will allow my students to learn all about Earth Science with comprehensive, hands-on lessons. From a rain gauge and thermometer to snowflake stencils and sorting mats, it has materials that will help them explore the four seasons and learn about weather. The Weather Activity tub will provide my students exciting experiments to high-interest writing projects, it has everything they need to observe and investigate weather!
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
