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 English Language Learners. All of my students speak a language other than English as their first language. Some of my students were born in the states, but some students are immigrant or refugee students.

My students work hard to gain fluency in their second or even third language.

I pull students out of their English classes 1-5 times a week in small groups. I meet with 2-7 students a class period. We work towards fluency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

These students are highly motivated to work towards fluency in English, they just need a few more tools in order to do that!

These students face many challenges both racially, as minorities in the school, and linguistically and students who do not yet fluently speak English. However, they are all working tirelessly towards fluency each and every day!

My Project

This project is full of chips, candy, and cookies. These foods, though not very nutritious, are very delicious and the students here love them!

These snacks are highly prized by students and are a great motivator during class.

I will use these snacks for when a student goes above and beyond in class. This could be writing more than is required, trying their hardest in a speaking activity, or reading a book that is challenging but trying their hardest!

These snacks can also be used as prizes during in-class games. Students love to play competitive games. My newcomer students do vocabulary races almost every day and they would love some different rewards beyond smarties and suckers that I use now. Or it could be for my advanced students when they play games of Kahoot! Or it could be a reward for my intermediate students when they finish a difficult project that has taken them weeks to complete!
