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

The items that I'm requesting will help us have a more exciting year or being able to be creative and free, Will will have a more open art experience with more materials. Not having to water down the activities because we don't have all the materials thats needed.

Having that hand on experience will help with the kids finer motor skills, and will also help with building that positive attitude and encourage kids to try new thing and have that confidence in their self.

I also want them to try new things and have fun will doing so. Break them out of that box and be creative.
