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

My students are young and their minds are full of imagination. I would love to provide them with some bright and cheerful organizing supply caddies and shelving systems to keep on task better within the classroom. Water bottles will help them stay hydrated both in and outside of the classroom. Special They are learning in a tier one environment, where the struggle is real every day to learn, but they try so hard, and I try to do my best to keep them engaged. Help me make our classroom a bright and exciting place for them to be every day of the week so that they will develop a lasting love for learning!
