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 day is always exciting. Working with K through 6th graders in a small group setting is fun and challenging. Every group is so different, and it is so much fun getting to know them all!

During small group time, we are process-driven, motivated, and encouraging with ourselves and each other.

I lead the intervention team at my school and work with five other hardworking and enthusiastic interventionists!

We work with kids who struggle, developing learners, and students who are ready for a challenge in small groups. These students have so much potential. They excel in a small group environment. Small group is perfect for these students because they get the individual attention they need and that does not always occur in a class of 30 students. They have come so far. We work on specific standards and foundational skills that they might have missed to fill in the gaps and push students further!

My Project

These are basic supplies that will keep my students healthy and learning as we approach important state testing season! This is the time of year when supplies dwindle and run out. Pencils and Clorox wipes are classroom staples needed in any classroom across the country.

Helping provide these classroom essentials will ensure that all students have the same chance to learn and grow!

Academic growth cannot happen when the building blocks are missing These supplies will help students stay focused and engaged this spring. New stools will replace old and broken stools, an air purifier will remove pollution and dust so that students with asthma are not triggered at school, and the Word Ladders book will help students improve their vocabulary.
