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

I work at the premier STEM school in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are dedicated to ensuring success of every individual child through out their life. One of my favorite things about working with these students is the energy they bring to the classroom. I can't imagine working at any other school with any other students.

I am looking to set up my first math and science classroom and create a space where students feel comfortable and know where materials are located.

The Oregon Ducks are the mascot of our classroom. It is my goal to ensure that all of my students know that post-secondary schooling is available to them. With the flag and banner, my students can feel a sense of pride in their classroom community. Thank you for your support in help build my classroom!
