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 come from a low income/high-poverty part of the city where they need opportunities to succeed. Young children need to start their learning journey early.
I teach at a Title I school in Virginia where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
For some of my students, this is their first school experience, and I want to make it a great one. They really enjoy school and learning. As little learners, they also love to read, write, and grow.
My Project
I work in a Reggio- Inspired school. The classroom environment is just as important as the curriculum we teach. These natural colored stools would be such a welcomed addition to the pillows we have and would help my students have more voice and choice in the classroom.
Young children need more opportunities to make choices.
Even it is the choice to sit in a traditional chair, on a pillow, on the carpet, or on a beautiful new stool. By doing so it helps them learn how to make choices. It also, helps them to make decisions and have some say in their learning day.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
