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 want to provide each scholar with a water bottle that they'll have throughout the entire school year to take water breaks and stay hydrated. The dry erase sleeves will be used all year for scholars to work on various worksheets and to practice new learning concepts with dry erase markers and erasers. I love the dry erase sleeves because scholars can easily erase on them, practice stretching out words and listening to letter sounds, draw pictures to help with problem solving strategies for math, practice handwriting, number ID, etc. They will each have pencils and crayons labeled with their name on it so they can track them easily and not lose it. Scholars will have everything that they need in order for them to be successful and focus on learning instead of finding materials.
