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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The door pockets will be used for incentives and water bottles, the googly eyes and reading strips will entice the students to be extra focused while reading, the headphones will be used for my kiddos who are a little sensitive to loud noises, and the bins will replace the broken book bins we currently have!

Ms. Rashidy
Grades 3-5
