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

My students are a joy to teach, learn from and grow with. Being a first year special education educator, I've truly enjoyed many special moments with my students. Their tenacity, drive, kind hearts and beautiful smiles deserve an updated classroom environment they can continue to thrive in.

My students come into the classroom ready to tell me about their day, excited to socialize with their friends and prepared to learn.

Adding new bean bag chairs, butterfly chairs, pillows and a new rug to our classroom decor will give us a fresh start and an updated learning environment we can be comfortable learning in. Due to having no windows in our classroom, an air purifier is much needed in our classroom to help clean the air and combat allergies that often impact our students.

My students struggle with the concept of money, vocabulary and understanding word meanings. With fun new learning games like Money Bingo, Synonym Bingo and Prefix/Suffix bingo my students and I can enjoy learning together.

Our writing materials are limited in the classroom due to students often times losing pencils, dry erase markers and pens. With new dry erase markers, pens and pencils our students will be even more prepared for writing time and completing their assignments with available writing utensils.

Our students sometimes lose, misplace or forget their laptops at home. With two additional laptops in the classroom, our students can access our learning materials and complete their work even if they lost their computer or left it at home.

With new comfortable seating options, updated decor, air purifiers and new learning games, our students will definitely be thankful for a cleaner more enjoyable classroom environment.
