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 are creative, thoughtful, full of life and growing into life-long learners! They absolutely love hands-on activities, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and eager to learn. This would help my students stay engaged, provide them with more independence when doing their work, and have less distractions in the classroom. Thank you for taking the time to check out my project and helping my students.

My Project

The use of an anchor chart and easel is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially when introducing new topics. Using anchor charts and an easel in reading, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students.
