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
This year, I will be teaching Middle School Cross Categorical Special Education. Most of my students either have a learning disability or autism. They come from low income or single parent households. In addition, four percent of students in my school are ESOL, and we are projected to increase enrollment by one hundred students this year.
In our school of four hundred and fifty students, they speak a total of seventeen, different languages.
They also come from a variety of different backgrounds. Students come from all over the city to attend our school. Our school is a midwest, urban middle school where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Thank you for supporting students with a great need.
My Project
In out classroom we do a lot of group of at the table with teachers and partners. This table will provide a stable work space for all students to sit and work with the teacher and peers. When working at the table with the teacher, all students can collaborate with each other and the teacher in an appropriate setting. As the teacher, I can reach all students at the same time without anyone feeling excluded. The table we have now is made for small children and when we added tall legs our table was unstable and falling over when weight was added. We need a stable table for learning!
