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
Our school is a TItle I school that supplies every child with breakfast and lunch daily. It serves a diverse population, with students from all socioeconomic, military, special needs, and cultural backgrounds. It is a great place to teach!
This year I have the most amazing group of kindergarten students, and I am blessed to be their teacher!
They are loving, kind, thoughtful, smart, and hardworking! They make my days bright and cheerful! They always surprise me with sweet cards, beautiful pictures, and hugs of love, especially on those days that I need it! My kinders shower me with love and affection, and always want to be my side, even after the day is done! They melt my heart each and every day!
In our classroom, we practice kindness. I love seeing my kinders hugging, supporting, and encouraging each other! When someone sheds a tear, there are 10 students grabbing a tissue and hugging him/her to make him/her feel better! When I think of these moments, it is very hard not to get emotional. My kids truly are the sweetest, kindest, little people I have ever met! Thank you for supporting these amazing students!
My Project
This year has been a year of firsts for my amazing scholars. They have experienced their first day of kindergarten virtually. They have experienced their first day of small group instruction virtually. They have experienced their first day of PE virtually. They have experienced their first day of assessing virtually. The list can go on and on! Even though my scholars have experienced kindergarten virtually, they have been rock stars! No matter what I throw at them academically, they have done it with a good attitude, determination, drive, and excellence! I am amazed at how quickly they have adapted to virtual school since they have never stepped foot in a classroom!
I would like to celebrate their awesomeness by having a virtual week-long winter holiday celebration!
If we were in the classroom, my scholars would get to participate in week-long activities during the Christmas season. Since they cannot come to me to participate in these activities, I would like to bring them to my kinders! I am asking for 1 pair of pajamas and a light-up necklace for my new student! I am also asking for a copy of Pete the Cat's 12 Groovy Days of Christmas for each one of my scholars. Reading is so important to my kinders, so this book will allow them to read their very own book at home! The Christmas bags and tissue paper will be used to wrap everything up for delivery! So many "firsts" have been taken from them this year, so I am excited to bring this celebration to my much deserving scholars! Your help and support in bringing this virtual celebration to my scholars are greatly appreciated!
