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 Project

What I love about my students is that they are willing to take risks and are constantly taking advantage of opportunities to connect with one another and build community. We will use board games, math games, chess, and a host of other games to build communication skills as part of our incentive program and after school enrichment program. Our goal is to increase critical thinking skills, enhance communication skills, improve mathematical reasoning skills and reinforce a growth mindset in a comfortable learning environment. The above mentioned skills are essential to student achievement.
