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

I teach at a Title I school, so many of my students come from low-income families and face many difficulties at home. These children are very eager to learn, but may not have the same opportunities as other students.

It is my job, as an educator, to level the playing field for my students and give them a variety of opportunities in school.

I want to build their confidence and help them realize their potential. I am excited to see what their futures hold!

My Project

With our classroom returning to in-person learning this year, we need a comfortable place to sit while we learn together. Whole group instruction is an important part of our day, which includes interactive read aloud, group work, whole group mini-lessons, and engaging writing lessons. It is important for us to be able to sit together at the front of the classroom to fully stay engaged in these important lessons.

After a whole school year of being physically apart, it feels good to be able to sit together and form a community in the classroom.

I am excited to give my students a more comfortable place to sit so they can focus more easily on instruction.
