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

I'm a Physical Education teacher for a primary school and teach grades kindergarten and first. This is my fourth year as the PE teacher for my energy-filled students. My student's are always eager to learn new skills and concepts to improve their overall health and wellness!

My student's are incredibly special because they are able to be physically literate learners everyday in my classroom even when they have learning frustrations or do not have basic needs being met at home.

My student's and school community hold an exceptionally special part of my heart and I truly could not imagine teaching anyone else!

My Project

I'm an extremely creative teacher who makes all of my own learning materials to allow it to be specific to my primary-aged students. I focus on creating purposeful learning materials in order for my students to have the best understanding when it comes to concepts to become physically literate. I'm in desperate need of supplies to organize my office so I can continue creating awesome learning materials for my students.

These storage boxes and reusable dry erase pockets will allow me to create new learning materials for my students.

My classroom is the gymnasium and because I have such a large learning space, I teach two classes at a time so essentially I need to have double the amount of learning materials compared to a regular classroom with 18-23 students. The learning materials that would be stored in these boxes would be related to food groups, locomotor skills, learning signs/posters, items for the bulletin board, and health/wellness concepts. I will be using the reusable dry erase pockets for nearly every unit I teach throughout the school year to allow my visual learners to have a better understanding of lessons.

My students and I would greatly appreciate any donation you can give to help towards these supplies to store current and new learning materials I create for my physically literate learners. Thank you!
