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 work with special needs students who teach me new things everyday. Many of my students come from low income households. Daily life can be a struggle for many students at my school. My students face these daily struggles in addition to the struggles they may face from their disability.

Together, we grow stronger everyday.

I advocate for my students to receive all the services and support they may need. My students put a smile on my face daily by making progress however big or small that may be.

My Project

When Covid hit, my school shifted to virtual learning. We were not prepared for this, as was anyone, and we needed to make decision as to how best support our students at home.

I sent home with students many of the supplies I had.

This left my shelves bare and I am in need of a basic supply reboot. My students need worksheet sleeves or laminated worksheets and dry erase markers in order to practice handwriting. They need self-opening and loop handle scissors to learn how to cut. They need playdoh to build up the fine motor skills required to write or cut. Learning a new skill can cause anxiety. The chew necklaces are a great tool to help manage the anxiety so students and work and learn!
