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

To learn, children and adolescents need to feel safe and supported. Without these conditions, the mind reverts to a focus on survival. Educators in high-performing, high-poverty schools have long recognized the critical importance of providing a healthy, safe, and supportive classroom and school environment.

It is my goal to have each child feel safe and comfortable while they are in my classroom.

I am hoping to make my classroom feel as homey as possible. My students will succeed if they are comfortable. Bulletin boards where the students can display their art, and most cherished schoolwork will help make them proud of themselves. New supplies of calendars, classroom jobs, and more are desperately needed.

Mrs. Norton
Grades 6-8
