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 attend an inner-city charter school. The students in our school come from many diverse backgrounds. Most of them speak a language other than English as their first language. My students also conquer life while having special needs.

Our schools create an achievement-focused school culture by sweating the small stuff while fostering meaningful, personalized relationships between students and adults.

They want to soak up knowledge and new experiences. By the time they walk into school, many of them have overcome the struggles of poverty, broken homes, and homelessness. Our charter school takes PRIDE in both academic and social-emotional growth. The journey begins here.

My Project

We need sensory break items for individual student boxes. The pandemic has changed how we teach as well as who gets to be in the physical building. Help make the long day in our day care more exciting for the students.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

We need dice games to play when our lessons are over. The many dice and Yahtzee score cards will allow us to play Yahtzee and other dice games while maintaining social distance. We will use the decks of cards for solitaire and card house building competitions. We need coloring books, kinetic sand, slime and Legos for brain breaks to keep stress levels low.
