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

This season, I am eager to change up my centers to ignite creativity and curiosity among my scholars. As we begin our new math module and climb our reading ladder, we aim to get more organized.

More than half of my students stay for aftercare with me up until 6 pm!

This means they arrive at school by 8:45 am and stay until 6:00 pm. Help me keep them engaged with new reading and math centers, energized with their favorite snacks, and excited with new organization tools for our take-home Leveled Literacy Readers!

Ms. K
Grades PreK-2
