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

I am a first year teacher that need materials for the classroom to enhance the learning experience of my students. I am currently a co-teacher for a 5th grade class. I will be teaching 3rd grade and would love to be able to have these materials so that the children will be able to play games, receive toys for good behavior, have seating throughout the classroom during independent reading, have individual white boards for math or writing words, extra headphones for those headphones that break easily and laminating machine to make sure that there are learning materials throughout the classroom.

I am starting from nothing, so being able to have these items will greatly enhance the classroom experience for my students.

There will be children with disabilities perhaps in my class with autism. I would love to make them comfortable as well and have materials that could assist in their learning.
