About the Three Stage Project

This project allowed the students to use their critical thinking skills and to be very creative like seen in the picture above.

The three stage project was presented to parents, who thought it was very creative, and the students in Ghana.

Claire Achedou was one of the students who presented the three stage project to Ghana. In the image above was Amira Gates’ project. Presented below the three stage project:

Stage 1

Standards 6.1, 6.2, 6.3

Read over the sheet regarding Native Americans.

Create your own Native American tribe. Have a poster representing your tribe. Have a picture of animals you hunt, crops you grow, tepees or cabins you live in etc.

Write a two page narrative regarding your tribe. How was your tribe created? What dangers did your tribe face and why? What obstacles did your tribe face trying to settle down at a location?

Using the sheet regarding Native Americans answer citing evidence: Native Americans have a long rich history. Why should we continue to study Native American culture? Cite evidence from the text.

Stage 2 standards: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3

Why was Jamestown a place of abuse? Find one primary source and cite evidence that will possibly help your group answer this question. Explain.

About The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) and college tour

Since 2017, CGF has partnered with AT&T, Dark & Lovely, DC DOES Office of Youth Program, and the Department of Parks and Recreation. As a result of the impactful work, CGF has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships, has a 100% graduation rate from high school, 90% enrollment in college, and 10% of our students have secured professional careers.

GoFundMe

The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) is raising funds for the annual college tour.

“The goal of this tour is to inspire underserved minority DMV students to pursue higher education opportunities as many of our students are the first in their families to consider college,” the GoFundMe reads.

This year, the organization aims to provide 26 students the opportunity to attend the 6 institution visit tour in the Southeast region, giving them a real-world experience of campus life and the possibilities that higher education can offer.

“We are hoping to raise $50,000 to cover for travel, lodging, activities, and food accommodations. Our students are from underserved areas within the Washington Metropolitan area. Hence, without CGF they will not have the opportunity to experience this.”

For this initiative, CGF has started a GoFundMe. If you wish to support this worthy cause, please visit the fundraiser here.

On August 15, Texas educator Candra Rogers was seriously injured by a student during a classroom altercation, making her lose sight in her right eye. A GoFundMe has been started to help with recovery expenses.

“This is an arduous situation and will take time. Please continue to pray for me, my family, my school, and my district, even the child who caused this incident and his family,” the fundraiser reads.

TX Educator Loses Sight in Right Eye

Rogers, an assistant principal at at Collins Intermediate School, was responding to a call for assistance from a behavioral teacher when she found one student who had reportedly been assaulted by a classmate outside the classroom with the teacher and other students.

Upon entering the classroom, Rogers encountered an “irate” student in a “ransacked” room. Despite her attempts to de-escalate the situation, the student threw multiple chairs and ultimately a wooden hanger. The hanger struck Rogers in the right eye and knocked it out of its socket, causing Rogers to be airlifted to a Dallas hospital for emergency surgery. School officials released the student into the custody of his parents and have prohibited him from returning to campus.

“I grabbed my face while blood was pouring out of my head and stumbled out of the classroom door,” Rogers recounted in a press conference. Doctors were able to reinsert her eye, but they believe the damage is permanent, and Rogers may ultimately lose the eye entirely.

“I will have to have an additional surgery to repair my eyelid, and because doctors are believing my blindness to be permanent, removing my eye may have to be an option,” Rogers said. “I still believe in God for a miracle for restoration of my sight.”

Rogers has been surrounded by her loving husband and children as they help her during this difficult, trying recovery process.
