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 a self contained class with a diverse group of learners who despite their varying learning needs, are very curious and eager to learn. I am a firm believer that every child is capable of learning. I always ensure that they have necessary tools to make learning fun and engaging.

I enjoy working with my students and I am filled with joy when I see them working together and helping each other to develop their academic goals.

My Project

Once again, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City Public Schools are closed and students are at home participating in remote learning. The news of school closures was received after dismissal and as a result, I was unable to give students school supplies they will need to complete projects and assignments during remote learning. To help my students, and to ensure that they have an equitable remote learning experience, I made the decision to create a Donors Choose project to get basic school supplies, and technology for them. The headphones included in the list are for 4 students in my class who do not have headphones, a tool that is necessary to reduce the noise in their homes, and for them to hear the lesson being taught.

As an educator, one of my main goals is to create a remote learning experience that aligns with the educational experience my students receive in school.

However, I am aware that in order to achieve this, I need to have the specific technology to create and implement lessons that improve student engagement and help students to develop academically. As a result, I am trying to acquire an I pad, and an Osmo starter kit to use as a document camera to magnify and project student writing. The stylus is needed for modeling writing, and solving Math problems for students during my lessons.The games included in the Osmo starter kit will be beneficial to these students with special needs, it will be used to help students to develop their Math, Spelling, and

art skills.
