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

Our students are smart, creative, thoughtful and full of energy!! They are willing learners and feed off of positive reinforcement and hands-on learning opportunities. Our students come ready, willing and able to conquer the world of learning!!

Our school is located on the West-side of Charlotte, N.C.

Although the area is defined as one of the most economically challenged areas in Charlotte, our students are beating those odds every day; they are going against the grain!!

This coming school year will be an especially rewarding one, as my Instructional Assistant and I are looping up with our students!! We have watched them from their first day of Kindergarten and they have now blossomed into first graders! We are excited to facilitate their learning on this year's new journey!! We have some exciting ideas brewing and can't wait to have all the necessary tools to execute our vision. It's going to be an awesome year!!

My Project

Each of the materials were carefully selected based on previous knowledge of students. Our students learn best through hands-on experiences and interactions with peers.

The ready-made centers will encourage students to continue their learning and improve their team building skills!

The easel will be of great use because we build/create our classroom anchor charts together. With a larger class this year, ALL students will be able to see and participate in the creation of the anchor charts.

Read-aloud books were selected based on students' interest and will serve as models for how students should read and write.

All materials will greatly enhance each student's learning experiences and catapult them into even greater educational gains!
