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

The students I work with come from single family home that are eligible for the free lunch program and many other programs. The students are enthusiastic and thrive when the are given the right tools. The student have shown that they are ready to stride like a colt does when set free, to achieve great learning potential and be ready to move forward to be their best. The student are always eager to be introduced to new and exciting things. They love to be involved in new concepts concerning their learning process. These exceptional student can do everything any other students can do.

My Project

The items that have be selected for this project are to create a calm classroom for students with exceptional learning abilities. Softening the lighting ,alone with items to create beautiful picture for the classroom i hope will keep the student ready for learning. Students come in daily needing to be in a calm environment that will promote them to learn. The environment of a calm classroom is important not only for the student but the teacher as well so that positive energy's will be released by all in the classroom during instructional time. Calm classrooms calm students. Help create a great learning place.
