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

Our school is in a poverty area so all of my students receive free lunch. Many of the students do not even have crayons at home or other essential school supplies. They are very limited with supplies because money has to go toward essentials such as food and clothes. The students do not get to experience a lot of the privileges that other kids get to experience. Electronics are not something that they are able to have and only get exposed to them at school or daycare. Many are even unable to even go to the zoo and have never been even though we have one in our town. Many of our students are learning English for the first time at school. This makes communication a challenge.

These students work hard and want to learn and succeed.

They are eager to learn all they can and are always excited about using manipulatives and technology to enhance their learning. Parents are also very supportive of wanting their children to succeed.

My Project

We have been learning virtually this year. Once numbers go down, we will continue with hybrid learning. Students will need headphones within the classroom and at daycares to talk with teachers during class and drown out the noises around them. This will help my students to be successful in their learning. Many of the students who will be in hybrid learning will be in daycares because of parents working. These headphones will help the students to concentrate better and keep their attention on the teacher and their lessons so they can learn.
