Help me give my students the materials they need in order to be successful in school like a listening center, alphabet sounds teaching tubs, and magnetic letters.
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
My students are a very diverse group who are willing to learn. What makes my students special is that they are very independent little thinkers who just need the right resources in order to emulate their scholarly minds.
Secondly, one of my most favorite characteristics about my students is that they are very persistent against all odds in Baltimore City.
These students have faced many obstacles in the short lives they have lived in this world. I love how they can take the negative and turn it into a positive outlook.
My Project
My students need a comfortable area to listen to a book on CD. Research has shown that listening to books on CDs increases fluency levels with reading. My students also need audiobooks so that they can practice their fluency. My students also need phonological awareness which the teaching tubs will help them distinguish between sounds of letters.
In Baltimore City, reading fluency is very low and my students deserve the best they can get so they have the feeling of being successful.
Education is extremely important and needs to be addressed as early as possible. The earlier a child is exposed to something, the easier academics are going to be for them.
