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

This year's theme is "Learning is an Adventure" and these supplies will equip my students with the tools they need to be successful. My students will use pencils, writing paper, Expo markers, erasers, and chair bands daily. My students will write stories, narratives, and opinion pieces throughout the year. Whiteboard markers and erasers are used daily during math lessons for modeling and practice. As a special education teacher, I am tasked with closing the academic gap my students are experiencing. By having these supplies, my students will have a strong start to the year.

Our classroom carpet is essential to our daily schedule.

Students and I meet on the carpet to begin each lesson. The carpet is a space for learning and loving, we build classroom community and practice academic skills on the rug. My students have academic needs and social-emotional learning needs that require creative approaches to learning about themselves, emotions, and key social skills like turn-taking and conflict resolution.

My students are an energetic, loving, and optimistic bunch. They come into my classroom each day with excitement and a love for learning. They have a growth mindset that allows them to keep trying even when learning can be challenging.
