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 Project

This is my 16th year teaching at a Title I school. I love my students and want to see them succeed in school and in life.

Our school district has a goal that 90% of our 3rd graders will read at or above grade level by 2025, and in order for this to be achieved we need to focus on interventions for our struggling readers in K-2.

This year I am primarily working with 1st and 2nd graders in small reading groups and do not have my own classroom where I can keep my supplies. This is why this activity cart is so important. It is not just a cart. It has everything I need for my small reading groups, and it's all in one place.

This cart would make a world of difference because I would not have to constantly find different places or rooms to store my materials.

All of the phonics resources that are in the cart are so wonderful that I would also be willing to share the materials with the 1st and 2nd grade teachers that I support.
