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

Our Scholars are driven and always looking for new, fun, and creative ways of learning. They are bright and full of energy, to know them is to love them, and as an educator, I love all kids and you will too. My scholar comes from low-income families are in need of your support anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

My Project

The items purchase will help me prepare my scholars In phonics being able to recognize letters and sounds, along with blending in there words to help them read better. I have hand made alphabet cards each day I go over what constant blends are, what digraphs are and how it can help them read better. The supplies giving will go towards helping our scholars to not only recognize and blend words together it helps them be able to read. This will go along way for our scholars more because they are in a low income community and a lot of items are not available to be, but if we can help in their education then they will succeed in the community. Our scholars come from low-income families so the purchase of the items will go towards supplies they need for not just inside the classroom, but outside as well furthering their education and preparing them for the journey to their next grade. I believe all kids will go to college and having help will ensure their success. Be a blessing to help children in need. Thank you for your support and time.
