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 thoughtful, creative, and exciting to work with! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are an inspiration to me!

I teach in a low-income school district where my students are faced with many challenges, both in and out of the classroom.

Despite the many challenges they face, I look forward to providing them with many creative and meaningful learning experiences.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment through which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so blessed and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

Providing my students a set of headphones will allow them to remain focused while working on their computer-generated lessons. It will also prevent my students who are in small groups with me from being distracted from their learning.

These headphones are much needed in the classroom while students are completing their I-Ready and Mastery Connect assessments.

With headphones, my students can stay focused.

Donating to this project will not only help to improve and increase my students' attention and focus, but it will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
