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

I teach in a low socioeconomic area in the heart of our city in Alabama. My students are advanced scholars who are creative and thoughtful, full of critical thinking questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, 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 take brave chances in order to grow academically, as well as personally and socially. With that in mind, as we continue to strive for excellence and prepare for state assessments, I want to provide them with a "kind" outlet their hard-working efforts.

My students are a wonderful group of children and they deserve the world.

Truly, they are my inspiration!

Currently, I provide many resources, myself, for my classroom. All of our students qualify for free lunch, and my students would greatly benefit from any additional resources to reward them for their diligent efforts.

My Project

My school is full of wonderful students who work hard, daily, and strive for academic excellence. I am wanting to start a "Kindness Cart" at my school to promote happiness and to spread kindness to others each day. Being rewarded (and acknowledged) will increase productivity, allowing students to be more successful throughout the school day.

Being rewarded for your efforts boosts esteem, confidence, and morale.

The "kindness cart" will improve the overall morale, which then improves student success.

We plan to decorate the cart and allow students walk around during their lunchtime and spread the "kindness" with juices and snacks for everyone to help brighten up their days. I believe this would help spread love and positivity to a group of students who truly deserves it.
