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

As you all know, students need to be challenged to learn and improve their academic speech or language skills. Everything on my wishlist is a tool to help me engage with my students more creatively and allow for more movement. In the time of a pandemic when students are constantly sitting and looking at an electronic device, I want speech or language therapy to be a solace of comfort and happiness. The students that I teach are speech and/or language impaired. These students have difficulty accomplishing language-related tasks in and out of the classroom. EVERYTHING encompasses and includes language in some way, shape, or form. Most all of my students come from different economic backgrounds with over 80% of them receiving free or reduced lunches. My goal is to prepare my students for success not only in school but especially for the real life world.

My Project

I chose these materials because the pandemic has resorted into a hybrid model of learning. Working with special needs children is especially difficult on-screen. I've been planning everyday to come up with engaging lessons that will keep them engaged. The wobbly chairs will help my in-person students get some movement in their day while sustaining attention to our short lessons. The classroom decor and organization materials will help the students feel comfortable as they walk through my door. The learning resources and games will serve as motivators and positive reinforcement throughout the weeks to come as our students work so diligently in the midst of a pandemic.
