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

First-year teacher searching for extra headphones to have on hand in case students forget or destroy their own. ELA class requires the use of headphones. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to order extras for my students, therefore I must seek assistance from others around me. Headphones will help all over for my students and their learning experience. In ELA they will be using Lexia which is a learning program base on each students own personal learning levels. Using Lexia all students will be able to work on their own pace. This is very important for all students to have.
