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 love to learn. My students are advanced learners. They thrive on challenge and acceleration. They learn quickly and absorb information. My students are curious and often ask thoughtful, searching questions. They have an advanced ability to reason and draw conclusions from given information. Some of them come to class hungry due to not having a healthy breakfast or lunch.

My students are diverse and love using creativity, hands-on activities, reading books, and they love field trips!

There are many students who are English language learners, yet they love books and learning. My students are from a neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee that is diverse. They come from different backgrounds but come together like a close-knit family.

Many of my students have different socioeconomic statuses, but they persevere. They are future engineers, artists, and leaders and love to read. They love learning about history and other cultures. Our class has a STEAM maker space that allows students to integrate the arts with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

My Project

My students love to read. They also love learning with technology and expressing themselves creatively. In our class, we use tablets to play learning games. They also use the tablets for coding and completing digital assignments. I have also started teaching my students how to design digital presentations and to type their creative writing.

Many of my students do not have a keyboard for their tablets.

It is hard to access certain websites and even more difficult to type in tablet mode. A wireless detachable keyboard will be so helpful for my students to complete their work at school and at home.
