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'd like to keep my students focused as we reach the end of the year and prepare for a warm August return. Cooling down my 90-degree classroom will help the learning, focus, and education continue in my classroom!

I want to keep teaching and learning going as we navigate the warm weather coming our way!

My students have taken such an interest in our curriculum. I want to be able to foster their love for learning in reading, math, science, social studies, and emotional learning! Let's keep their minds engaged in the learning process.
