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 third-grade students I teach are amazing. They all range between the ages of 8 and 10 years old. Each student has a very unique background. Some of my students are the children of teachers, however, another large percentage of my class are children that live in poverty-stricken areas. Fifteen percent of our students in our district are English Language Learners, which is the largest number in our state. So each year I have students in my classrooms with a limited English vocabulary. Regardless of the challenges, these children may face daily they come to school excited and ready to learn. With hard work and dedication, my students overcome language, poverty and academic barriers. They are unstoppable!

My Project

Each student deserves to having a set of quality headphones and a speajer for our classroom. In our class we do a lot of work on our computers and students need the ability to clearly hear and understand directions from the computer based programs that we have. The headphone we currently have are falling apart and our class is in desperate need of new ones. Students will not only be able to listen to instruction from programming, but they are also able to listen to songs that help them remember facts on many topics. Having have a clear audio connection is an essential part in our student's day.
