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 come from poor, single families home with limited or no parental support. In addition, our entire middle school had to be relocated in January 2017 due to mold in the building for the rest of the school year as well as the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. In spite of this, my students had a challenging but great year with limited technology and supplies and I for see another great year.

Overall, I am asking for supplies to improve instruction for my students and to help them continue to transition to new their environment.

I am a member of ATPE.

My Project

My project, Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader, requires ear phones to ensure success. The ear phones will allow my students to become actively engaged in their lesson via computers without outside noise. The ear phones will also make it possible for students to independently listen to grade level text without distracting the entire class. As a result, they are able to complete lessons with little or no distractions while simultaneously improving reading skills.

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
