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

The School District of University City's priority is to transform the life of every student everyday. I take this to heart and make it my goal for all of my students.

My students are creative, thoughtful, hilarious, loving and kind.

I am very blessed to be able to loop with my students from first grade to second grade this year. With all the unknowns this year will bring, it is so special to have my same students from last year. I am excited to continue to watch them grow and build lasting relationships with them.

My students bring diversity to our classroom with their different cultures and personalities. They show me how to be a better teacher everyday and I am so blessed to have them in my classroom.

My Project

I am requesting a document camera, monitor and accessories. These materials will make a difference in my students' learning in many different ways.

Online learning is new to everyone and comes with its challenges.

A big challenge I had last spring, was being able to show my students examples of math problems or writing prompts. Having a document camera will allow me to show them what I am modeling clearly. Another challenge we faced was being able to see everyone during our virtual classroom meetings and also being able to share my screen. By having a computer monitor connected to my laptop I will be able to see my students' bright smiling faces as well as showing them their lesson for the day.

The purpose for this project is to help make sure all my students needs are being met virtually. My hope is to make online learning fun and accessible to all.
