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 rambunctious, inquisitive, and have a passion for improving themselves in the classroom.

Along with a fellow resource teacher, I am creating a project that will help us create a listening center for those students who struggle the most to read by giving them the ability to listen to various stories through audio.

This listening center will provide much-needed resources to the resource teacher especially in order to ensure these students just learning English are given stories at their level in order to build foundations to flourish in school later on.
