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

School Year 2017-2018 is already on its last lap. Our students are working hard to finish the race with flying colors. They are on track in making the most of it. Challenges never stopped them to be successful this school year. Their challenges became opportunities to make good choices and be bold enough to stand on it. They are very optimistic, tough, and inspired to make quality results.

Our students are the great "Gators" who never gave up whatever circumstances they are in....

My Project

Students in intervention group are struggling in their grade specific level. Most of the time they are three or two levels behind. They are deficit in understanding the skills expected at their age and grade level. Though they are challenge to do different task they never gave up.

Intervention students need more of our attention and support to keep going on.

There are many factors affecting their learning performance in school. The more focus they are in their assignment, the more they become more successful. When they are not being distracted, they learn more.

These requested headsets will help them a lot to focus and work harder. They will help them a lot to not get distracted by other students. Students in intervention need more concentration to be more successful.
