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 very excitable and extremely loveable. They spend their school days learning to read, write, and count, but they also learn how to love, respect, and share. We work together on phonics, reading, writing, math, science, and social studies daily. They are going to master reading as well as achieve dreams!

We cherish our memorable moments such as hands-on experiences and edible experiments.

The children truly love to learn and can make an adventure of almost anything!

I am a firm believer in this quote:

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.”

-Rita Pierson

My students are in a Title I area that needs a lot of attention. The children need the effort, the love, and the opportunity to succeed in the most imaginative way ever!

My Project

Hello and welcome to my inquisitive class! The children love arts and crafts! They enjoy coloring, painting and creating!

The goal of this project is to provide them paper craft bags (all four kindergarten classes) with their very own craft bag that they can color and decorate and potentially collect their valentines in.

The children will appreciate this project as they will each get their own bag, and of course being the teacher I am they will be full of valentine goodies from me! I am excited to provide the children the platform to be creative.
