I strive to foster independence in my students, which allows them to have a sense of pride and feelings of accomplishment. This encourages problem-solving when my students will be faced with challenges in the future.
I teach in a classroom where half of the day instruction is in English, and half of the day instruction is in Spanish.
I have both native Spanish and native English speakers in my class, as well as students who speak many other languages at home. In our class, my students are becoming readers and writers in both Spanish and English! Our diverse students love to learn!
My Project
Black History Flash Cards, designed to combat the miseducation and suppression of Black achievements around the globe.
This volume's 52 cards gives a strong foundation to the many untold stories, achievements, and unknown people that have given shape, color, and definition to the worlds of academia, science, civil rights, business, the arts, and more.
Students will enjoy learning about the revolutionary contributions of African Americans. Students will use these in the classroom to learn about important people and to create posters to hang in the hallway for Black History Month. We will also use these cards at other times throughout the year!
