Celebrating Black History Month

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

I know most teachers say it, but I have the most intelligent kids in the world! My students are readers, scientists, mathematicians, artists, historians, and the kindest kids in the world. My students are leaders and proud to support their peers both in and out of the classroom.

On top of being extremely intelligent, they are creative!

My students love to draw and write stories. They also love to explore anything science-related. What are the chances that a teacher would get a class full of scientists?

I love the passion my students have for their school, their community, and each other. You will often see them helping a kindergartener to the restroom, reading, supporting a classmate in an assignment, or even trying to cheer each other up.

My Project

Imagine coming to a country and a new school and having no idea how to communicate your wants and needs. I have witnessed the fear of my students who do not speak English struggling through school and not being able to say "I need the restroom" or "I'm hungry". This is the reality for many of my students who are new to the country.

My goal is to support my students and their families in learning English.

The materials your donations will provide students with English words to help them communicate, read, and learn. Vocabulary cards will provide students with English pictures and words. Games will allow students to practice sight words which is increase their literacy in English. Most importantly, students will have the chance to practice their English at home with their families with the AGO card game.
