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

My goal is for my classroom to be a warm, safe, inviting space where students feel free to ask questions, explore what makes them curious, and make plenty of mistakes along the way. For some students, my classroom may be one of the only places where they feel entirely safe, so I take my position as classroom facilitator very seriously.

My kiddos are wiggle bugs with diverse needs in terms of where and how they learn best.

Some do great sitting at a traditional table with a traditional chair, while others need different options. Some love it when there is plenty of noise to keep their energy up, while others need a quiet environment.

I, myself, am a lifelong learner and hope to inspire my kids to ask questions and seek answers everywhere they look. I am always searching for new opportunities to make me a better person or a better teacher; often, one opportunity does both!

My Project

I don't know about you, but the florescent lights in classrooms and office buildings are one of the most frustrating everyday-inconveniences out there to me. The harsh lighting they provide is uncomfortable, overstimulating, and has been proven to cause headaches -- certainly not the ideal learning environment for little minds!

These florescent light covers will dampen the negative effects of the florescent lights in our classroom while simultaneously adding a cozy effect with the cloud print!

I know these will make each day just a little better for my students and everyone who joins us in our classroom.
