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 students are very special students! We are a Title l school located Northeast of Birmingham, Alabama. I serve 7th-12th grade students as a reading teacher. We are striving to become excellent readers and writers, so as my student's teacher, I am trying to find materials that will help my students achieve this goal.

Reading and writing are vital tools that greatly impact learning in every way and I want to be able to provide experiences that mean more to my students than just words on a page.

I try to choose activities that are interesting and relevant to students, as well being able to make personal connections for now and in the future. Many of my students have lived through many obstacles that could set them back, so I try to help empower them and have them realize how strong, intelligent, courageous, and brave they are! Reading and writing are gifts of growth that I can share and empower them with and I intend to help them grow in every way possible!

My Project

These materials will make a massive difference in the activities we will be able to incorporate more listening activities, videos, and digital resources for students to use to grow their educational experiences and thinking skills! We use Google Classroom, as well as added in videos to engage students, as well as increase or build background knowledge where it isn't always as strong!

These headphones will help revolutionize our classroom environment and educational processes that take place!

Many students are unable to afford headphones and having a classroom set will be beneficial for all learners to be able to use all the tools to help their learning process be more seamless!
