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

Our Scholars are the leaders of tomorrow. They are bright and enthusiastic learners who are eager to explore the world around them. Our school is located in Union, New Jersey. Our Scholars overcome many obstacles to succeed in challenging times.

Even with a global pandemic currently happening, they rise to the occasion with every task presented to them.

Each morning as we arrive at school, I constantly see such beautiful smiles, (even through their masks), bearing the resiliency I wish the world could attain!

My Project

Our students are very creative and imaginative learners. They often ask questions that expound upon their learning and find innovative ways to solve problems. Although they are kindergarteners, they possess the skills necessary to think critically and document their findings through hands-on learning.

These kindergarteners use critical thinking skills to help guide their learning.

No matter the task, they always find a way to use available resources to help them navigate their findings.

A light table would be an excellent addition to help our students learn math, literacy, science, and social studies in an innovative way. By donating to this project, you will be helping kindergarteners increase their learning capacity by engaging with hands-on tools that will guide them to understand math and literacy concepts in the curriculum.
