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

Our school is an all hands-on approach in our k-3 classes, we are tacking that approaching and doing all hands on in our Literacy lab. Students will be able to use things such as movable alphabet and item matching and dictation cards. All to help them learn in the way they need . The items I am requesting will help set up a new Literacy lab for our students. Our students are vastly behind in phonics and we will be servicing the entire school to help close the gap for our students in reading. Our school has some amazing students and we want to give them the best opportunities to learn as possible while still having fun

Please help me give my students these resources that will keep them excited about their learning and help them grow their phonics and phonemic awareness skills.
