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

I work in a west side school in Chicago that has 98% free lunch for students. My students are very high energy and spirited and super-excited to come to school. Because of limited monies and resources in the neighborhood, we have to be very creative with the resources and funds we do receive every year to extend their learning.

My students are up for any challenges but they need some support to help them be all that they can be as productive citizens, ever-growing learners, and competent business people.

My Project

Our students love learning about the alphabet, numbers and fun story characters. After we read books about the topics, we want to extend their learning with foam letters that they can spell words with; retell the story with storykits and play BINGO to build remembering the numbers and letters. Using these materials helps students work in small groups or on their own to talk about and retell stories, spell out their names and other words and learn the alphabet letters and numbers and some pictures. These materials make learning easy and fun and builds up students' capacity to integrate learning concepts.
