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 Project

I am a first-grade teacher at a public school. My students are excited about learning and want to excel in school. I have a large range of learning abilities in my classroom. My students come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of needs.

My students are sweet and they are excited and ready to learn, explore, and take on the world.

Boy meets fly — and so begins a beautiful friendship. Hi! Fly Guy is the first in Tedd Arnold’s funny series about the amazing and irrepressible Fly Guy. The book provides an ideal opportunity to teach young students how to be friends and to deal with the emotions that come with having friends.

My students love Fly Guy!

In this series of books, a fly and a boy become friends. The boy, Buzz, comes upon this fly by accident. Buzz's father does not think a fly can be a good pet but Buzz and Fly Guy prove him wrong. Buzz and Fly Guy have adventures galore. Throughout the series, the two friends learn about each other and learn about emotions. My project will help my students understand their feelings through the emotions that Buzz and Fly Guy have as they learn about each other.

In the book "Shoo, Fly Guy" Fly Guy returns home to discover that Buzz has gone on a picnic without him. Sad and hungry, Fly Guy takes off in search of his favorite food and his friend Buzz. The students learn about sadness and happiness after Fly Guy finds his friend.

In another book, "I Spy Fly Guy' Buzz loses Fly Guy When they play hide-and-seek, Fly Guy hides in his favorite place — the garbage can. But then the garbage man drives away with the garbage and Fly Guy, too!
