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 school is nestled in a Philadelphia community and serves students from all over the city. In my classroom and school community we believe in a holistic approach to learning. The school and educators works eagerly to serve our scholars and their families. We work to provide them with equitable access to education.
My scholars are bright, talented, and inspiring individuals.
Imagine kids walking into school each day beaming with curiosity and an eagerness to learn... those are my scholars! They are hardworking students who strive reach their endless potential.
My Project
Our classroom needs a class carpet! It is essential for our class community because it will provide a common space for students to come together as a community of learners. The carpet is a space where students can unite together as a class, in groups, or even independently for flexible seating.
My school believes in restorative practices/ morning circles and this would provide my students with a space to congregate together.
While a carpet in a classroom may seem like something minor or non-essential, it truly is a space where the classroom comes together. It is a place where students can feel safe, they can learn, build relationships, and it becomes one of the central locations of the classroom. A classroom carpet would benefit our learning community greatly!
