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 am a dedicated educator seeking support to enhance my classroom environment with essential supplies and resources. Your generous donations will help provide STEM bins for hands-on learning, bulletin board paper and borders to create an engaging display area, command strips for easy and damage-free hanging, headphones for individualized learning experiences, and class incentives to motivate and reward student achievements.

Why do I need these items?

Supplies are necessary for daily classroom activities and projects. STEM bins encourage exploration and critical thinking in STEM subjects. Bulletin board paper and borders enhance classroom aesthetics and showcase student work. Command Strips facilitate easy and temporary display of teaching materials. Headphones support personalized learning and focus during independent work. Class incentives motivate students and reinforces positive behavior.

Your contribution will directly impact the learning experience of my students and create a welcoming and stimulating classroom environment. Thank you for considering supporting this project!
