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

We are a small, rural community at a primary school that caters to nearly 450 4K - 2nd graders. Our students are young, vivacious, and ultimately curious about all things related to our media center! They love books and technology, and I wish to entice them to explore more.

This is my second year at this school, and I'm working diligently to create unique opportunities for our students to work towards improving their academic skills, and involving them in the care of their community at a level they can understand.

Our entire student body receives free lunch, most of our children come to school ill prepared for the most basic of school needs. It's pivotal that I do my part to help my students feel welcome and a part of the family of students, teachers, and staff we've created here; and illustrate to them how to give back to the community they care so much about.

My Project

This project will allow teachers to check out kits from the library to use during unit studies on fairy tales, folk tales, and specific STEM projects that we are building a read aloud collection for.

The purpose of this project is to enhance and extend what is available in the classroom in science, mathematics, and literacy skill manipulatives.

It is imperative to link what we do to literature to increase our students interest and engagement in reading comprehension. Helping to transform these stories into a reality by having these project kits allows us to bring more mathematics and science into stories we already read to our students.

Our students deserve every opportunity to have innovative and engaging material available to them, and this project helps to enhance what we work so hard to provide for them.
