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

This is my first-year teaching and already I have been to three different classes in two different schools. I am now with first grade and I have had lots of cleaning to do. My goal is to create a comfortable and safe space for my students to learn and grow. They have been in a really tough space barely having room to walk around and I am now fixing that. I want them to love coming to my class.

With your help, my student will have things to look forward to such as the requested games, posters, magnet sets, and treasure chest with prizes.

They have been in a plain room with no inspirational context. I want to change that for them. Children should feel joyous when they are learning. It is hard to be joyous in a bland place. It is also difficult to be joyous when your voice is not heard.

I want my students to know that I hear and listen to them. At their requests, I have asked for rewards and name tags. The rewards will be used for our reward system. Students are recognized for good behavior and 100% participation. My students want name tags to learn their classmates names, and to help me remember their names better. It would be a great blessing for us to receive the classroom of our dreams.
