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

These are things that I notice are missing from my classroom at the beginning of the school year. So I wanted to get a head start to provide these things to my students at the beginning of next year. Everything listed will allow my students to have an engaging, inviting, and loving classroom environment, the moment that they step foot and the door. The manipulatives included will allow my students to build their fine motor skills, Writing skills, and conversation skills. The cleaning materials will allow me to provide is sanitized and clean learning environment throughout the school year. Thank you on advance!
