My Project

Please support our ICT classroom in further creating a comfortable, cozy, yet informative environment as new teachers to the education field. We are black educators primarily serving black and brown students in Brooklyn, New York, striving to provide students with an enriching experience that is both stimulating and most importantly, safe.

The items in this list will greatly support our students, especially our neurodivergent students.

For example, the headphones and wobble stools provide great comfort and help improve their focus as they complete their work. The laminating sheets will support us greatly as we create flashcards and labels for our ESL students to support their language acquisition. The laminating sheets are also helpful in building reading and comprehension skills and improving memory for our general education and neurodivergent students.

Our utmost goal is to continue to serve a wide range of learners from different backgrounds in a collaborative classroom that further increases inclusion, improves their learning efficiency, and promotes a child's flexibility and autonomy.

Any donations would help greatly. Thank you!
