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

I teach middle school students in the heart of a city in Florida. They love to learn about social studies topics. They are intrigued with using technology to learn even more about various history topics. Their favorite topic is law studies. They get to learn about their rights.

My Project

Music was my favorite subject in school. I want to help my students get into expressing their musical talents. My students have their end-of-year performance coming up next month in May. Each year all of the different performing arts classes put on a show. My class does a music performance with their recorders and tambourines. At the end of each show, we usually give our students popcorn as a snack after their performance. This popcorn will be our end-of-show reward. The popcorn will be given to each member of the audience and performer.
