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 always excited to begin with a new group of kindergarten students. They come with an eagerness to learn and are sponges for all they are exposed to, but, as any five-year-old, have a short attention span.

These supplies are essential in offering a variety of ways for students to learn skills and keeping them engaged.

Many of the requested items help develop fine motor skills as we learn to form letters and numbers. We do a lot with dry erase boards and markers as students master their fine motor skills and the reusable make-up wipes are the best erasers (and longest lasting) that I have found; however, our current supply (that is seven years old and have been washed many times) are starting to come apart.

Because our school offers a Summer Learning Academy to students entering kindergarten, I need to be prepared for them to begin the first week in June.
