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

COVID-19 has and will continue to change the way my students receive an education this coming school year. I teach 24 young humans who each have a unique story and a love for learning. My job as their teacher is to cultivate their love for learning, provide them with culturally responsive content, learn their stories, and provide them with the tools and resources they need to be successful when faced with adversity.

Our school is a Title I school in Washington where many students eat free and reduced-price lunch and live in poverty.

A lot of students at our school have experienced or are still experiencing trauma in their day-to-day lives. Many students are also learning English as their second language which poses additional learning barriers. My third grade students are not only resilient but determined to overcome these challenges.

My Project

At our school, we will be starting off the year in distance learning. Education is going to look very different as students will be at home. These resources and tools will give students the opportunity to participate in distance learning that is the closest thing they have to normal school. The clipboard-whiteboards will be a helpful tool for students to engage in multiple content areas, specifically, math problems, grammar and phonic lessons, and social-emotional activities.

The most challenging part about distance learning will be fostering relationships with students and families.

I have included stationary sets and postcards to help bridge this gap and connect with families. I am hoping with these materials, distance learning will be more equitable and engaging for my upcoming third graders.
