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 are between seven and nine years old. The school is considered to be low socioeconomic area and over 98% of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch. Our school also offers every student free breakfast. Many of the students come from single family homes. Many of my students do not have any chances to experience technological learning at home. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. This is evident in the in the school being an A school. I am looking to give my students positive and meaningful learning experiences.
My Project
The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in writing. The reading/writing easel will help my students to display and practice their writing on the built in lined whiteboard. The easel will also give them an area to display reading anchor charts, as well as reading books. Currently, we have nothing like this in the classroom, when we collaborate together to make an anchor chart it is flat on a desk and every time we write something I have to stop and hold up the paper for the students to see. Being able to see what we are working on will help the students stay on task. Also, students will enjoy to have their work displayed.
