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 Project

One of my goals as an educator is to ensure that my students with special needs learn the importance of moving our bodies, eating healthy, making good choices to maintaining a strong body.

As a Special Education Teacher, we need not only to teach our students with special needs Reading and Math, we also teach them LIFE-LONG SKILLS WHICH INVOLVES TAKING CARE OF THIER HEALTH and COMPASSION FOR OTHERS.

In my classroom, we will create a chart for the class and compare how many steps they took daily and how that affects their physical well-being. We will incorporate a variety of physical activities into our daily routine and compare which activities are most beneficial for our bodies. This, in turn. will be shared with the families so that they could hopefully, incorporate some of the activities at home as well. Perhaps, we can encourage families to be more active together to help keep them healthy.

I would also love to use this Apple Watch to allow my students to teach them about compassion. This is one of the skills a child needs to have for them to understand how the world works. As a class, they need reach a particular number of steps so that at the end of the week, they will have a play day Friday. One student will be the watch leader for the week and will keep track of the steps the students wearing the watch for the day have with the use of spreadsheet and calculator apps provided by the watch. I hope my students learn the valuable lessons of keeping track of their health while understanding and developing their sense of COMPASSION to their peers.
