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 requesting a project f basic puzzles and books to help students with more materials. Right now we struggle with repeated activities that do not interest students so we thought about how puzzles and culturally relevant books could help. This has been a school year of new beginnings and a consistent try to have class community built, having some choice time is a non instructional way to allow students to relax, reflect on the day and build great friendships. Projects like this are very simple but much appreciated in our classroom.
