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 students are energetic, fun-loving, eager second graders who look forward to coming to school every day. My students face many challenges such as disabilities, lack of supplies, and language barriers because their native language is not English, but despite these challenges, they are eager and ready to learn.

Every day, I strive to meet their various needs in any way that I can.

I try to create an engaging and peaceful work environment so their minds can soar! By making sure they have what they need to be academically successful, safe, healthy, and secure, I am helping them to be as productive as possible.

My students live in a low-income, inner-city neighborhood, and they have struggles at home. It is my job to make sure they are able to accomplish what they wish to in school. One of my goals, as a teacher, is to provide things that my children are lacking and to create a positive learning environment. My students love to experience new things and visit new places such as the many field trips that I take them on. I also try to keep their bellies full and their minds open to learning new things.

My Project

This year, I am waiting for my new Smartboard to be delivered but it keeps getting delayed. I am currently using my laptop and connecting it to a projector for our everyday use. The problem is that it can be hard to hear the computer while we are listening to stories, watching video clips, completing Brain break activities or using resources such as our Scholastic News magazines.

I am asking for this speaker system so that I can connect it to my computer to use until our new Smartboard is delivered.

This speaker system will allow my students to hear the videos and other resources much better than we currently are.
