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

My students are little, but they can accomplish many things! The majority of my students come from low income, high poverty families. We are a Title One school in Baltimore City. Despite these challenges, I hope to give these children the same experiences students of the same age group get in other districts.

My students constantly look out for each other and encourage each other to strive.

In addition, my students are very compassionate and understanding towards others’ needs. They share everything: school supplies, books, and even clothing.

Many of my students have experienced challenges in their lives, but still, come to school everyday ready to grow and learn. My students work harder than most to overcome the barriers they face in order to be successful!

My Project

With today's society, it is important and crucial to encourage STEAM learning early in the elementary school. Naturally, young children are curious about exploration and experimentation. Why not provide them with enriched literature that builds upon STEAM challenges? I would like to build proficiency in the virtual classroom by having activities such as literature based STEAM bins.

Young children need the opportunity to create a plan, change the plan, but never the goal because explorations and creative is the intelligence of have fun!

Let's start STEAM in Pre-Kindergarten and encourage our children to take initiative with their learning.
