My Project

In 4th grade, my students work really hard on a daily basis. I love that my students are eager to learn. This time of the year allows us to learn about new and fascinating individuals who have contributed to the world. My 4th grade students will be showcasing themselves as we present a Black History Living Wax Museum to celebrate and honor Black History Month! I want to provide a celebration party for my students once they present their Living Wax Museum. This party will include candy, cookies, juice boxes, inspirational notepads and pens along with bracelets that inspire my students. Oftentimes, we focus on the negative behavior, and your donation would benefit my students by focusing on the positive aspect of their presentations!

I would like to honor all of my students' hard work by having our own celebration and provide them with gifts of Inspirational Notepads and Pens along with Inspirational Bracelets in honor of our Black History Living Wax Museum presentations!

My students will conduct research on their chosen person, create a speech and poster board to share out, and dress up to honor their chosen person.

Your donation of these materials will benefit my students by showing them that hard work pays off and will help our celebration come to life! I pride myself in teaching my students the importance of historical figures and how their choices affect us in the present. Not only will they learn new information about their chosen person, but they will also have earned a lovely celebration thanks to your donations and the important lesson that hard work pays off!
