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

By equipping our classroom with essential tools for safety, creativity, and personalized learning, we are empowering our students to reach new heights of success and achievement. I absolutely adore my students' eagerness to learn and their diverse talents. Each resource requested plays a crucial role in nurturing their growth and creating an enriching educational journey.

The WeCare Disposable KN95 Face Masks will ensure a safe and healthy learning environment, allowing us to focus on education without worry.

Many students were sick this year due to lack of medical care. The Crayola Take Note! Dry-Erase Markers encourage interactive learning, fostering creativity and active participation in lessons. Many students enjoy the interactive, custom resources we make in class!

The bubbles and shoe charms add a touch of fun and personalization to our classroom, making learning engaging and memorable. Play-Doh sets spark creativity and fine motor skills development, while the headphones enable personalized learning experiences with digital resources.

My goal is to create a dynamic and inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and empowered. These resources will enhance our curriculum, promote creativity, and cater to diverse learning styles, ultimately helping my students reach their full potential.

What makes my students truly special is their resilience, curiosity, and unique perspectives. They inspire me every day, and I am committed to providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.
