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

As a teacher, I know that it's important to create a positive learning environment that promotes both academic success and emotional well-being for my students. One way to achieve this is by incorporating a new theme and calm-down corner supplies, as well as a whiteboard flip chart and ten frame manipulatives, into my classroom.

A new theme can provide a refreshing and exciting atmosphere for my students.

The right theme can help spark their curiosity and engage them in the learning process. Additionally, a new theme can create a sense of community within my classroom by bringing everyone together around a common interest. For example, if my theme is outer space, I can incorporate space-related books, decorations, and activities that will capture my students' attention and promote a love of learning.

A calm-down corner is another essential element of a positive learning environment. It provides a safe space for students to manage their emotions and regain their focus when they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

A whiteboard flip chart can be a useful tool for teaching and learning. It can be used to illustrate concepts and ideas, create visual aids, and facilitate collaborative learning. The large surface area of a whiteboard flip chart also allows for greater flexibility in lesson planning, as I can easily adjust the content based on my student's needs and learning styles.

Ten frame manipulatives are another valuable resource for teaching math concepts, particularly in the early grades. They provide a hands-on, tactile way for students to explore numbers and develop their understanding of basic math concepts such as addition, subtraction, and number sense. By using manipulatives, I can engage my students in active learning and help them build a strong foundation in math.
