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

This is my 17th year teaching at a Title I school. I love my students and want to see them succeed in school and in life.

It's getting closer to the end of the year, and I want to celebrate my students by having a glow party and giving them sun glasses because their future is bright.

I also need more finger pointers for my students. They love them. I have a few, but my students all want to use them during our small group reading time and I do not have enough for everyone.
