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 make up the kindergarten French Immersion population at our school, which has the oldest French Immersion Program in the Parish. We spend each day learning not only about the French language but also the French culture.

I strive to encourage my students to work together to build a cohesive, supportive, and encouraging environment.

Also, we are working to build together a cooperative and collaborative class. It is important that we learn to be a good citizen and have compassion and understanding for the world around us.

My Project

The experience and knowledge I will gain from visiting Ron Clark Academy would fill my teacher tool-belt with ways to inspire my students' personal creativity, and build their self-esteem and confidence.

Kindergarten is the root of students' academic lives.

When you nurture a child's academic roots, they will grow up with a strong foundation that cannot be easily shaken. This experience can give me the nutrients to feed my students' roots!

My unique teaching style would greatly benefit from this experience so that I could put a French twist on the amazing ideas and activities that Ron Clark has to offer.
