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 in a Title I, public elementary school with about 500 students. Many students are eager to learn and interact daily at school; however, COVID-19 has put a stop to our engagement with students. It is my hope that through DonorsChoose, we can offer as much personal attention to each child's needs as possible.

My students are sweet and full of potential, but the poverty level is high with 100% of our population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Nevertheless, my school tries very hard to afford all students the same opportunities, no matter what social or economic situations may exist in their lives. All students are offered free breakfast, and we have a teacher-student mentoring program that attends to the primary students' social-emotional needs.

Personally, I take time to get to know each child in my classroom as a whole person. My goal throughout the year is to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their character strengths and weaknesses. I love being their friend, teacher, and hopefully, role model.

My Project

My students need a Surface Pro tablet so they can have access to a variety of technology resources to create innovative, digital stories. My students love incorporating technology into our daily classroom activities.

I want to give my students the chance to interact with the digital world with every learning opportunity.

My students come from very low income communities. Often times, school is the only place where they can use technology for educational purposes. The Surface Pro creative writing station will be a brand new learning experience that will expose my students to a new device and allow them to create stories with more tools at their disposal.
