Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

My Project

I absolutely love my students and the enthusiasm they bring to learning every day. Their readiness to learn is inspiring, and I am constantly amazed by their curiosity and willingness to explore new ideas. One of the things I cherish most is the respect my students show, both towards each other and towards me. It creates a positive and inclusive atmosphere in the classroom where everyone feels valued and supported.

I am committed to promoting compassion in my classroom to nurture the whole child and instill this essential value in them for life.

To achieve this, I am creating a "Compassion Corner" where students can immerse themselves in books dedicated to compassion and empathy. The bookshelf will hold a carefully selected collection of books that will inspire and teach compassion.

In addition to books, the Compassion Corner will feature games designed to help students learn about compassion from each other. These interactive activities will encourage empathy and understanding, fostering a sense of community within the classroom.

To create a calming and welcoming environment in the Compassion Corner, I will use an aromatherapy diffuser to set a positive tone and create a pleasant aroma in the classroom. Students will also have the option to sit on stools, which will promote flexibility and comfort during learning activities.

Furthermore, I will use clear, labeled containers to store the games neatly and efficiently. This organization will not only keep the classroom tidy but also make it easier for students to choose and return games, promoting independence and responsibility. Please help this Compassion Corner come to life.
