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

This year in second grade we will have an abundance of students with mixed interests, abilities, and goals. Some of my students are learning to read, write, add, and subtract using single digits. The rest of their classmates are learning to identify and isolate beginning, middle, and end sounds. My students work hard and they are eager and excited tolearn. Our class will enjoy participating in a variety of educational centers during Skills and Math.

Our class is a community where we share our experiences and differences while learning from each other.

Due to the flood of 2016, our school was merged with another school. This created an even bigger school with more students and teachers.

I teach in a shared first and second grade hall. Each grade level has between four and five classrooms and teachers. As my students develop in my classroom, they will become more comfortable interacting with students who are excelling at a faster pace. Our classroom expectations are centered on accepting inclusion in all its different forms. The work we do in this classroom will shape our minds, build a community, provide endless learning opportunities and lots of fun!

My Project

I am requesting a class set of headphones. In our classroom, there is an everyday struggle with students not having working headphones or not having headphones at all. On top of having to follow COVID protocols, every student must have their own pair of headphones and with our class growing from 14 students to 21 students I no longer have enough.

The students are also using numerous educational programs on their Chromebook that require headphones.

Smarty Ants is one of the programs that allows students to practice listening, reading, and decoding different letter sounds and words. It provides differentiated lessons at an accelerated rate based on the students learning level.
