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

Every class session is an opportunity for learning, whether it's teacher- or peer-led. My students are focused and ready to learn and know to ask me what the objective of learning that day is. From there, we take a textual journey of awareness, analysis, and enjoyment.

I have some of the best students in Chicago!

They want to learn and are up for any challenge I present to them. We are in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood where two dynamics exist, affluence and poverty, and they reside a few blocks from each other.

I teach three 8th grade classes, a gifted class and two regular education classes. I don't like the labels that have stuck with the classes since enrollment, and I challenge every student with the same high standards. I modify my curriculum either up or down, but it is my goal to use the same text so that everyone I teach will be ready for high school literature classes when they leave me.

My Project

I need to replace some items from a fulfilled project I created three years ago to transform my class through flexible seating. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and position as needed.

Because I teach 8th graders, I know that furniture in my class won't last forever.

I have to replace a table and a couple of chairs that haven't made it through the last few years. My students enjoy the look and feel of my classroom and I would like to make sure that we have what we need to continue being stellar learners.
