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

Help give my students all of the science materials that we need to make our science lessons more interactive and fun! With decodable science readers that will join our classroom library and scientific tools that we can use to help foster our scholar’s love for science, please join our classroom of first grade scientists and give my students all of the hands-on materials that they deserve! With this project I hope that we can strengthen our classroom library as well as create the opportunity for a lot of hands-on science lessons that will help our first graders learn to love science!
