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 first-grade students in the heart of urban Omaha, Nebraska are amazing! They are curious, insightful, and love to learn. The smiles on their faces each morning melt my heart. For many of them, school is the only time and place that calm and structure exist. I hold high expectations for them as learners and would like to give them materials and experiences that will continue to foster that love for learning.

I am blessed to call these 25 first graders "my kids." Our school is an engaging place of learning with dedicated professionals at every turn.

We are located in a high-poverty and high-mobility part of the city. Most of my students come from disadvantaged homes with minimal resources. We have many students with diverse language and cultural backgrounds. We are ready to be authors, illustrators, readers, scientists, and mathematicians. Thank you for sharing your gifts with my classroom!

My Project

During our cold Nebraska winters, my students often cannot go outside to play. Many do not have the outdoor clothing to stay warm and we are unable to clear our playground to play.

I would love to have some new craft activities and engaging games for my students to enjoy during their indoor recess time.

Classic games such as UNO, Sorry, Trouble, and CandyLand along with coloring pages, PlayDough, and a slime making kit would bring such joy to their faces.

My students were all issued iPads for learning but I would prefer they engage in some other activities other than screen time for recess.
