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 inquisitive and motivated, and they come to school each day with a smile! I teach first grade at a Title I elementary school in southeast Washington, DC. Almost all of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and many face challenges outside of the school building. However, this does not stop my students from showing up each day with a smile and ready to grow their brains.

Access to high-quality learning materials and experiences allows my students to grow both personally and academically.

My students deserve access to materials and experiences that will allow them to expand their vocabulary. They work hard every day to reach their academic goals and show resilience in their daily lives. I'm so excited to see all of the growth my students make this school year!

My Project

As we enter the last quarter of our school year, I have students that have already met, and exceeded, the end of year goal for first grade! With this big accomplishment under their belt, they need materials to keep their progress going! The resources from this project, such as the match and play games, will support students in independently developing comprehension and vocabulary skills. Additionally, the set of 5 books will allow students to engage in a book club with engaging and fun books for students! With favorites such as the Bailey School Kids, Judy Moody, and Cam Jansen, students will expand their thinking and practice skills with more complex books! I can't wait to get these materials in the hands of my students.
