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 students are creative, thoughtful and full of inspiration! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging assignments that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take chances and cheer on their peers in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my why!

Many of my students come to school to get away from the overwhelming life of poverty.

They know when they enter the door to our classroom they are entering a safe, loving family of supportive learners.

My Project

We love our white boards for writing and math practice but they are messy and we go through a lot of dry erase markers!!

Having reusable LCD tablets would help with messy hands and sleeves along with frustrated early writers.

Many times my students struggle to keep their hands off the board and this causes accidental erasing and frustrations. LCD tablets would also save our classroom carpet from accidental marker marks.

The amount of dry erase markers kindergartners go through is unbelievable. The money these reusable LCD tablets would save student's parents, our school and myself on dry erase markers will be a huge relief!
