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

My students are five soon to be six-year-olds who love learning. They are eager to learn. They love to play. They love reading books, participating in dramatic play, using technology and outdoor activities to help them learn and grow.

My students love school.

For many of them, it's where they come to feel safe, feel love, build relationships and to learn. Part of my responsibility is to provide a nurturing and rich environment that allows them to grow, inquire, learn, and question the world around them. At the same time, provide them with love and push them to be the best they can be. They often rise to meet and exceed my expectations when the right materials and tools are at their fingertips. Oh, the places they can go!

My Project

We know that students learn through various modalities. These resources will help all of the many learners in my classroom. Kindergarten is a crucial year for students to master those early phonemic awareness, phonics, and early numeracy skills. The more solid and secure they are with these skills, the more successful they will be in first grade and beyond. These resources will allow my students to work independently and in small groups to practice, reinforce, and master phonics, letter recognition, counting, comparing, and writing letters and numbers. My students will be so engaged with these resources that they will almost forget that they are learning.
