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 am elated to be back in my hometown in MI teaching in the very same district that I was educated in. For the past 7 years I have been able to grow professionally as a Pre-K teacher in Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo afforded me the opportunity to educate in a very diverse school with students of all backgrounds and abilities. I am grateful for the time I had there because I believe it allowed me to deepen my vision for the future of education.
In my classroom I focus heavily on relationship building, creating a culture of kindness and strengthening social emotional competency.
I could not be more excited to share my love and understanding of families from various backgrounds with my families. I haven't had the opportunity to meet any of my students this year yet. And with the way things are right now, I may not meet them in person until next year. What I do already know about them is that I love them and I want to see them grow in their love for themselves, for each other and for learning.
My Project
I've created this project to help purchase some of the items that will help me to be more effective while teaching virtually. As a kindergarten teacher, there are many "firsts" that my students will be experiencing. Many of my students will be learning to write letters and numbers for the first time. These materials will allow me to model writing for them, how to hold a writing utensil correctly and maneuver through lessons quickly so I do not lose their interest. This project will allow me the opportunity to have the technology to streamline the process of learning for my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
