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

Please help me to make all of my students feel included in our classroom. My classroom is filled with all different cultures and nationalities and I would love these multicultural materials to help all of my students feel represented in our classroom. We do an "All About Me" unit in the beginning of school. The multicultural crayons and paint would help my students draw accurate self portraits. The puppets and dolls would allow them to role play with similar and different nationalities and cultures. Please help me provide my students with these multicultural materials.
