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

When you have bright smiles, willing minds and many questions, then you know already you have a unique group of learners! My students are coming from various backgrounds and learning environments, but one thing is clear, they show me everyday they want to learn.

My students struggle with the reinforcement of skills and strategies at home.

They would benefit from access to materials within the school day to practice those skills. My young kindergarten learners show so much potential to grow in their acquiring knowledge. Each of them soak up the lessons presented each day. Some ask for more homework - kindergarten!

I love teaching students of all levels and want so much to better inspire and fuel that spark for great learning.

My Project

"Learning is how we grow all of our lives." I love teaching and inspiring children to love learning. The class set of headphones (20) will enable my students to focus and concentrate on the skills they are building during independent learning. Using reusable write wipe pockets add a multisensory piece in the classroom. Not all, but some of my scholars will greatly benefit from using the claws as they develop in writing.

My school receives Title I funding and resources are so appreciated that give our kids the motivation to achieve and succeed in closing the literacy gap.

My scholars are so eager to come to school each day and be engaged in the learning. I have several students who are below grade level and will need intense support to acquire those foundational skills.
