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 reside in an urban Wisconsin city. Our school is a pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade school. We work extremely hard to meet the diverse needs of our students. We serve a high population of low-income students. My second and third students come to school each day eager to learn.

My energetic students are working on ways to improve relationships in class and our school community.

We are learning to build strong relationships with classmates and adults. These positive experiences will lead to more time spent on academics and less time spent on conflicts.

My Project

These books and materials will help me provide opportunities for my students to learn social-emotional skills so they can be better classmates and friends. I want my students to have positive attitudes towards self and others which will lead to increased academic success. Picture books about emotion and social-emotional issues can help students think deeply about feelings and social issues. I want to help my students to become caring, considerate, confident citizens of the community and world. I want them to develop empathy, talk about their feelings, and identify with others. These materials will have a huge impact on my teaching and students' learning.
