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
Students in our program are energetic, full of wonder and excited to start their educational journey. We are the first official introduction into the public school system. We strive to make their first year of school exciting.
Most of our students have not been out of our rural area so the new experiences that we are able to bring to them are extremely important.
Our school district has been a struggling district in the state. We are making great strides in closing the educational gap, but as we make these strides, the money that has been given to us to help is beginning to dry up. So things that we have been able to fund in past years, are now being funded by the teachers or done.
My Project
Our child development classroom is in need of more tables for the students to use in centers as well as whole group times when we are practicing our writing and math skills.
The larger tables will allow for more students to work together with room for the supplies that are needed in centers.
We are trying to create an inviting, spacious area for optimal learning and the bigger tables will give us the ability to have more students in each area without many clunky tables that clog up the classroom.
Our program has limited funds to put towards new furniture and these tables will make an excellent addition to our improving classroom.
