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 absolutely love my job! Watching little faces light up when they learn something new or have a new experience. My students love learning through hands on experiences. They love reading and writing and drawing pictures to illustrate their writing. I always do my best to go above and beyond to make each day special to add to their excitement of learning. Thank you for caring and helping us reach our goals to receive the items listed in our project. We appreciate any help we can get.

My Project

These materials will assist with small groups for building reading strategies. Students can work on their concept of the written word and build the necessary abilities to read on their own. Students will participate in shared reading activities. They will start out listening to me read, then they will repeat the words with me and point to each word. They will also be able to find words I give them which will build their vocabulary knowledge. By the end of the week students will be able to pick the books they love and read them on their own. Thank you again for all of your help!
