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

The students I work with daily are grades K-6, many of which who have experienced trauma, or have some challenging lived experiences at such young ages. These items are things I have wished I had accessible multiple times throughout this school year and have reached a point where I am asking for support so that I can better help my students.

These items all serve a different purpose, however will all support students to have successful school days where they feel calm, safe, and have the ability to learn.

These items will not only help me this school year, but for years to come as well.
