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 class consists of 21 eager to learn third graders. My students are all unique in their learning styles and abilities, but each one is special to me. My students are always up for a challenge and try very hard to do their best. Our school is located in the Black Belt area, and it has been considered a Title I school. One hundred percent of the students at our school receive free lunch.

My students are full of energy and excited about learning.

My students get excited about the things we are learning every day. Although I have very few resources, I try to provide the best instructions and promote fun and exciting activities for all students. My students have a positive attitude toward learning. They are helpful and active members in the classroom.

My Project

Laptops are used to facilitate learning throughout classrooms. My laptop is old and doesn’t work very well. I used the laptop to connect to the smart board to present lessons to the students. When the laptop isn’t working properly, it’s hard to keep the students’ attention and they’re not focused to the lesson been presented.

Using laptops in my class will help my students to become successful in learning and prepared for the ACAP test!

When the teacher is not using this laptop, the students can use it to practice reading and math skills. We are currently using program such as Readworks, AR, Mobymax, and so many others. With your help, we can make this a reality for my students. Laptops are sure to bring fun and active learning in the classroom.
