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

It is hard to believe that the end of year is upon us. It is time for teachers to start thinking about the next school year and preparing. Part of preparation is planning out your school year early so you are ready on day one.

Essential tools are needed to ensure students have a vibrant learning environment with resources to support.

Flex spaces for learning also helps with student centered learning.

Over time things need to be replenished and updated. Having these tools will make sure that I can create a memerable classroom full of excitement and learning. Thank you for all of your support.
