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 4th grade students are very resilient students. My school is located in a low income community. Many of my students come from homes struggling to make ends meet. With that, my students bring a lot of their experiences into the classroom. They are powerful, brave, and important. They love learning about issues that affect them, and they are very solution driven.

My Project

My students often come from homes that are struggling to make ends meet, therefore often times a lot of childhood luxuries, such as fancy rooms and décor, are not a priority. When a student feels like they are in a safe space, where they are celebrated, they will flourish and want to learn. This school year, I want to provide students with a classroom that feels like home: furnished with comfy rugs and pillows to make classroom more fun and personal. When students get to lay around the room on comfy furniture, they feel more motivated to perform and engage in the lesson. This is my hope!
