My Project

This project will help students learn additional information about Black history month. The materials will increase students awareness about the United States history and how it is relevant to their lives today. To keep my students motivated I requested a treasure chest and incentives to go the chest. When they complete work or participate in class discussions they can choose a prize from the treasure chest. Your support will help give my students a safe and educational learning environment. We thank you in advance for your support.
