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

In my first grade class I have 13 boys and 4 girls that love trying new things. I took over as their teacher just after winter break and already they have my heart. We’ve decided that in our room we only have good vibes and have been working hard to all do our own part.

I took over as the classroom teacher mid-year after the first teacher left.

When she left, she left nothing in the room for these kids. A math content lead was able to step in for six weeks as the long term sub until I was able to take over after winter break. In the last six months, these 6 and 7 year olds have been through more transition than most adults.

My Project

This storage easel will provide a central focal point for whole group literacy and math instruction. The easel will double as storage for commonly used items and keep them easily accessible for all learners. With a larger focal point, all learners will be able to see important materials, such as shared reading and big books and class posters and lists as they’re being created. A stronger focal point will allow me to direct more energy into instruction as I won’t have to keep one hand on a book or paper to keep it in place. This easel will give all of us a new teaching and learning experience.
