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 forward to using the items that I have requested with my students. They have been working hard this year on expressing their thoughts and ideas whether that is through writing, speaking, or drawing. However, I have noticed that they express themselves better in their writing now more so than they did at the beginning of the year.

I want to give them the opportunity to express themselves through writing in their journal as well as through speaking and recording on their Chromebook.

I feel that it is important that my students learn at a young age how to express their thoughts and ideas. Having these journals will give them more space to continue to express their thoughts and ideas for the future.
