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

Many of my students face struggles and challenges in their daily lives, but I see their dedication, and the joy they find in learning is truly inspiring.

We work together to create a learning community where everyone is safe and feels valued.

During their time in my class, I work to show my students the rewards hard work brings, as well as to show them that our unique differences are to be celebrated and respected.

I teach in a Title 1 school with the majority of students receiving free or reduced price lunch. While our families want their children to be successful, and there is great community support for the schools, I know that many students will not come to school prepared with the necessary supplies. I do my best to ensure that all students have what they need academically, physically, and emotionally during the time they are in my care.

My Project

Currently my students only have access to unreliable and out-of date desktop computers. However, using technology during the learning process is a great way to build excitement and to display the learning that is happening. In today's world, being technologically literate is an essential skill, and the classroom environment must reflect that.

Incorporating this iPad into our classroom would make technology mobile and would allow students to use it in authentic learning experiences.

Students could access educational games to reinforce learning, check and correct independent work while I meet with another small group, listen to and read books from an online library, and create movies to teach others about their learning! The possibilities are endless.
