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 am a special education teacher in a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY, where most students are from lower-income and immigrant households. All my students have special needs and require a lot of repetition and practice to attain educational goals. Try to imagine a small self-contained classroom with 2nd and 3rd-grade students. Try to picture a group of very hands-on, unique kids with different skills and learning styles.
My students work hard every day and constantly inspire me.
They persevere through challenges and adversities whether academic or personal. They show kindness and respect toward one another. I work hard every day to provide my kids with the best opportunities in their education and help them in any way that I can. Some days, I am a bit silly. I do silly things to make my students laugh and try to make my room a more exciting, inviting, and encouraging place for learning.
My Project
We are back to school! I teach students with a variety of needs and abilities. I need more resources that are designed for kids who read and write below grade level. I need resources that can ease my student’s anxiety. I need resources that can improve their mental health and well-being by reducing frustration with the curriculum that does not address their skill level. A Teachers Pay Teachers gift card would provide an opportunity to purchase resources and activities that can address my kids' social-emotional well-being for years to come. The laminating pouches will keep our papers clean and safe. The Velcro dots will hold everything together and keep our hands busy. Thank you for helping my children feel successful!
