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 looking to supply our classroom with basics that we have used from our supply. Kleenex for runny noses, paper to print their activities with laminating sheets, and crayons to create art.

I am also wanting to use the writing tablets in our small groups to help eliminate the need to continue buying dry erase markers.

These are reusable and erase on their own. These items would allow my students to be successful in the classroom. Having these items donated helps release some stress off of my student's parents.
