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 in an urban setting in a school setting that has over 95% free/reduced meals. We work with amazing students who are so excited to be a part of our classroom and school.

My classroom is a self contained setting working with students who have moderate to severe cognitive and/or physical disabilities.

These are the students who greet us everyday with a huge smile ready to face whatever is coming their way.

During the recent shelter in place my coworker and I made multiple sets of distance learning packets that were delivered with no contact to the students. We worked hard to keep these items separate, sanitary and on each students level of ability..

My Project

Distance learning is difficult when you don't have all of the materials needed to be successful. Support will allow the teacher and staff to create virtual learning projects that can be changed daily and targeted to the students individual needs The hands on materials will assist the individual student in the development of their fine motor skills, letter recognition, math skills, writing, word recognition and social interactions. The white board will provide them with the preferred vertical surface for hand writing; and can also be utilized for math skills and core word development while keeping our students engaged and productive.
