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

“Reading with Ms. Mya” is a dynamic educational approach that combines storytelling with interactive activities to enrich young listeners’ imagination and comprehension. Through engaging narratives like, “Too Much Slime” and “Carla’s Sandwich,” students participate in hands-on projects that bring the stories to life. For instance, they create slime from scratch and craft unique sandwiches using ingredients from different food groups. These activities not only deepen the understanding of the stories, but also foster creativity and critical thinking. By gathering diverse materials and books, I aim to cultivate even more immersive experiences, making learning truly come alive for my students.
