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'm requesting class sets of calculators and basic necessities so that my students will have the tools they need for math without using a Chromebook.

I'm remaining in 6th grade which is the foundation for middle school.

Success in their 1st year sets them up for higher achievement as they move up.

My goal is to remove all barriers to learning because many of my students don't bring their own supplies to school. If they can come to class without worrying about what they need but don't have they can focus on enjoying class.
