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 Students

My students are the most amazing little people ever! They come from different backgrounds and our school has the best atmosphere for learning. That's why my students are so awesome! My students are intelligent, funny, and loving. Sometimes you'll find us bursting out laughing over the smallest things; no, seriously, I can kick my foot up, and we'll start laughing! There is never a dull moment in our classroom!

In our room, we say daily, "I am smart, I am important, I am somebody, I am loved."

My Project

As we wrap up the final few days of this school year, I am already thinking about the next school term. When my new kinders enter my classroom in the Fall, the learning will start immediately! We begin learning each letter, letter sounds, number identification, and so many other things. These first few weeks are crucial because they need these skills to begin reading. I don’t have many letter activities, and I want to get a start on these things now. The letter chart would be a perfect addition in our classroom because it includes many features that go along with the letter of the week. The letter kits would be used in my small groups to help build these beginning skills. I would truly appreciate any donation for these supplies! I can already imagine my students working with these items! Thank you in advance for blessing our classroom!
