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 have a unique collection of young thinkers that take on the challenges of learning every day. My talented first graders come to school every day ready to learn and explore the world around them. Their enthusiasm and love for learning empower me to discover new ways to ignite their curious minds to dive deeper into their academic and personal pursuits.

They come from different backgrounds but their sense of team and community is seen in the way they support each other.

They celebrate each others success which fuels their pride in a job well done and a desire to embrace even harder challenges. As more technology has been added to our classroom student engagement and a love for learning has skyrocketed.

My Project

As my students and I embark on an adventure to reform the way we learn and explore the world around us technology must be included to meet real-world learning. When I purchased a few tablets last year, my students' engagement and excitement soured. I realized then that I had to get more tablets because of their sheer sense of focus, engagement, and the quality of work they produced. My students truly love exploring and creating using tablets but we need more. There are so many wonderful sites that help students learn and stay engaged in the learning process. The addition of four new tablets and a charging station will help us move closer to our quest to become 21st-century learners.
