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

The learners in my classroom are second to NONE! It is evident by the year we've been having so far. The 78 students that I teach in my classroom come from a wide range of backgrounds, but that has not stopped them from moving full steam ahead towards their reading goals this year.

Even though we've been out of school due to the viral scare, that has not stopped the students from wanting to learn; this beautifully wild group of 5th graders that I teach have a true yearning for learning.

Their career goals range from wanting to be professional sports players to students that have dreams of becoming OB/GYNs and lawyers. Their hobbies range from dying their hair royal blue to participating in travel sports clubs. Our class is filled with love and laughter as I have tried to create an environment where the students feel loved, appreciated, and validated.

My Project

The 20 iPads would provide my students with the capabilities to be able to stay connected to their education and be able to learn while at home. The addition of these iPads into our school resources would also boost the quality of learning in the classroom as well. The iPads would allow the students to stay connected to their teacher as well as their education while out of school. It would provide students with the ability to receive complete and return classroom assignments and contact the teacher with any pertinent questions they may have. Students are very technologically savvy at the current time and this would allow the students to learn in a way that they have already grown accustomed to learning new information.
