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
I am very excited to be teaching at a new school this year. I am the K-4th Grade ELA and math interventionist in the Learning Center. Nearly all students come from a low-income family. I have learned that low income does not speak of the quality of students. I have some very intelligent and eager-to-learn students. Across the nation, schools are struggling to provide resources the students need due to state and federal budget cuts. My students deserve the best, and I am their advocate to make sure they get the best. We are making huge strides to improve in all aspects, and the students deserve to have new books, new pieces of technology, and new life experiences to help them succeed in school and life.
My Project
Our room is wonderful! We love our intervention space, but storage is lacking. We have had several projects funded for Orton Gillingham materials which we are so thrilled about, but they are everywhere in our room. We would like a nice shelf to put in our empty corner to organize just the Orton Materials. We are asking for rustic wood shelf that matches our other furniture. We have the bins and buckets we need, but we just need the shelf. We have four areas that we focus on, so the four shelves would be perfect to designate each area per shelf.
