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

Hello everyone. My students are having an amazing time learning to love reading. We have an online program we use for homework and to collect AR points. This program is called MyON, and it has amazing reading features for my students. We love using it because a large feature is it reads the books aloud, and highlights over the words as it reads. Because of this feature everyone needs a pair of headphones. Yes, the school has some extras in a bin but if another class is using them we are limited.

It would be amazing for everyone to have a pair of headphones in class, so they can read through their favorite online program.

My Project

My students have an amazing reading program called MyON. They enjoy the feature that reads the books to them and highlights over the words as they go. This has really helped them build their reading skills in class as well. We have a class set of Chromebook but only half or so students have a pair of headphones they brought from home. However if these are their only pair they won't have any for at home reading online.

With these new headphones everyone will enjoy reading online during small reading group time.

These headphones will also guarantee that we can get some projects completed on the same website. In February I have a project for Black History Month for them to read about three historically famous African Americans on MyON, which has over 30 books for them to choose from in their grade level. Then we will create puppets to give presentations to the class about the famous African American we chose to learn about.
