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

We use pencils, white boards, and coloring supplies virtually daily in our classroom. It doesn't take long for these items to be used up and no longer available in a room full of preschoolers. Our children love using white boards for various tasks, creating art in the art area, and writing with pencils.

Please help us restock our classroom so that our students can continue learning to write their names, use white boards, and explore in the art area every day of the year.

These are all essential skills that preschoolers need to learn to be prepared to start kindergarten in the fall.
