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

The school district of UC works to transform the lives of every student, every day. As teachers, we strive to meet our students on their level and provide real-world experiences that will prepare them for college and beyond.

My students come to school to learn how to compete in an ever-changing, competitive world.

Though they come from various backgrounds, it is my job to ensure that every student is engaged and challenged.

As a reading specialist, my goal is to create lifelong readers by engaging their interests and ensuring my students have a choice in their reading.

My Project

My students come to my class to foster a love of literature. Part of creating an environment in which they can thrive is to provide a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. At the moment, my students sit in Rubbermaid containers, flattened beanbags (which need to be retired), and hard plastic chairs.

I would like to provide a warm and inviting space for my young readers to get lost in their books.

This loveseat will be the start of creating a home-away-from-home. Reading in school should not be done in the rows of a classroom but in a relaxed and stress-free space.
