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 Project

My students are unique because they come to school eager to learn in an urban setting. I have students from different backgrounds and learning styles. As an educator, it's my job to cater to the needs of every student and provide a learning experience that is inclusive and accessible to all. My goal is for my second-grade students to have resources to help them succeed in the second grade. By incorporating these tools into our teaching, I can provide a more engaging and interactive learning experience that caters to the needs of every student. I also hope to create a collaborative learning environment where our students can learn from each other and develop essential life skills by using these resources. I can make a personalized learning experience that caters to the needs of every student, regardless of their background or learning style.
