Help me give my students the education they deserve! I am going to be teaching virtually this year. One of the key things I need to truly support my scholars and provide a quality education is a laptop.
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
I am currently a Kindergarten ICT teacher in south Brooklyn, New York. I serve the urban community of south Flatbush, which is a neighborhood I grew up in thus it is very special to me. My goal is to always give back to the community in the best way possible; education! The school community is warm, welcoming and inviting with minimal funding. We are a Title I school with families who want the best for their children but are unable to provide due to their circumstances. Many of the families, unfortunately, fall below the poverty line and are currently placed in shelters or scattered housing. However, the school community works closely and diligently with the parents to provide the best education possible. The students are bright, bubbly and eager to learn. They are beautiful individuals and I am proud to serve this community.
My Project
I am going to be teaching virtually this year. I am sad because I miss my classroom so much. Virtual teaching is not easy, and I learned that in the spring when I turned my kitchen into my classroom.
To truly teach my best this year I will need these supplies- to put my best virtual foot forward
The laptop will support me in facilitating live instruction, lesson planning, collaborating with colleagues who are working in the building, communicating with the families of my scholars, attending staff meetings, etc.
The desk and chair will provide a comfortable space for me to continue to work from home.
The big books will provide the shared reading experience for my scholars to actively engage in.
