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

First grade is an exciting year full of many social and developmental changes. I have a very engaged group of students and they love to learn. However, there are times when “teachable moments” are interrupted due to outdated and insufficient materials, that I am using to teach them.

Our 100-year-old school is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural school, serving students in pre-k through 8th grade.

We celebrate diversity on a daily basis and look for ways to create a learning environment that appeals to all types of learners. We are nestled in a south side Chicago neighborhood, walking distance from a large university.

My Project

We need a new easel to improve student learning. The classroom easel is the hub for learning in first grade. The easel is used to store valuable resources used for whole group instruction, such as dry erase markers, big books, chart paper and magnetic manipulatives. The easel will be used as a stand for big books, a place to display anchor charts, a whiteboard for teacher-led instruction, as well as student participation and a magnetic surface for manipulating math materials, such as pattern block and magnetic coins.

With this new and better easel, I will be able to make lessons more interactive, all students will be able to see everything because the easel stands taller.

All the different components of the easel will help me to reach all of my students and their learning needs. In addition the lines on the easel will help with student writing during shared writing.

Our current easel is small and awkward. The new easel can be stationary or move easily on wheels. The under storage area below the easel will house and help organize materials accessible for students and teacher. The larger board will allow all students to view the learning materials and engage.
