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 for new decor for the classroom. My classroom is just pieced together with random things from previous years. I would love to have a classroom for the students to come into and feel excited and also proud of their learning environment. I want the room to be welcoming and warm. The borders I picked are vibrant and bright in color to help lift kids spirits when they arrive. The new rug for the classroom will be a great place for the kids to gather around for story time and fun learning games.
