Peter Limata is a first grade teacher from Lusaka, Zambia. He teaches at Emerson Elementary School in Oakland, Ca. He has a great love for children’s books and is very committed to his students. He often pays for school supplies out of his own pocket and helps disadvantaged families get access to computers for distant learning.
During quarantine, Mr. Limata has been helping students cope with the new change by doing a virtual story time. This takes place on Facebook Live every weekday at 10:30 am. His animated personality and interesting choice of stories has helped keep students engaged in story time. Students also look forward to getting their personal “shot out” as they tune in.
In May of 2020, Mr. Limata and Emerson Elementary School received a big surprise. They were rewarded $25,000 from The Ellen Show in partnership with Box Top for education. His dedication and hard work has definitely paid off. Thank you to Mr. Limata and all teachers. We appreciate all that you do.
