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 school year is reaching the halfway point, which means we are in need of restocking the supplies that we use daily. Printer paper is worth gold in the school right now. We need to print our practice pages, assessments, and centers activities. Thankfully, our homework and some classwork is online, but the rest needs paper!

This project provides printer paper, printer ink, and sharpened pencils, which are all used daily.

The reward stickers are put on graded work that is 87% and above. They are a definite motivator!

It's the simple things (like pencils) that make a classroom run smoothly!
