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 class is extremely unique. Never have I known a more talented, outgoing, and motivated group of children. Statistics say that children from low-income backgrounds have reduced attentiveness, curiosity, and motivation; however, my class is beating the odds.
My class is full of piano players, singers, dancers, actors, artists, writers, athletes, and brilliant thinkers.
Every day is a new adventure! They amaze me daily with their inquisitive nature. Throughout every STEM activity we explore, piece of literature we read, and a new lesson we learn, it is so evident that I am in the presence of our future leaders. This class is going to go to great places and do amazing things, and they're beginning now!
My Project
2020 has changed education and the teaching profession forever. This time last year, the thought of teaching remotely and/or virtually was laughable. It’s now, however, our biggest thoughts of reality.
All teachers who are teaching their students online, need a fast, compatible, and highly-functioning computer.
Right now, my computer is not. Everything my students do, must be saved. All of our live lessons are recorded and must be saved. My computer is out of storage. I need this SSD storage to be able to save all of their things to. It will ensure they consistently get the highest quality lessons possible.
