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 planning ahead and want to be prepared for my future scholars. The hot glue guns will help me in preparing the decorations of our classroom so that my scholars will walk in to a positive environment on the very first day!

We use white boards several times a day throughout small group instruction, whole group instruction, and individual practice time.

By having a white board, students can easily change their answer and won't have to worry about making mistakes. The white boards that we currently have in the classroom are very old and stained. The Double-Sided Magnetic Write Wipe Boards are lined on one side which will be of great help when practicing our handwriting. The composition notebooks will also aid us in our handwriting adventures! My class will be grateful to receive the new supplies!
