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

First-grade classroom essentials are important for establishing a positive classroom culture because they provide the foundation for a conducive learning environment. These essentials, such as books, art supplies, and learning materials, foster engagement, creativity, and a sense of community among students. Additionally, having necessary resources readily available ensures that all students have equal access to learning opportunities, promoting inclusivity and equity in the classroom. The goals is to provide students with the academic resources to help them be leaders an innovators in the world that lead to obtaining many goals. Creating this project for my students because they are so special to me and I cherish each and everyone of them each day. I take pride in them being life learners.
