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

My talent development scholars in all the grades I serve, 1st through 5th, work so diligently all year. This April, for poetry month, we are showcasing their talents with a Poetry Tea. They are creating special works of art to present to their peers, friends, and family. These resources requested will help provide the needed items to make this tea party a success.

I plan to use these materials to create an inviting atmosphere where my scholars can present all their hard work.

Many of these books I requested will show my students examples of all different forms of poetry. These resources will enhance my lesson plans and make this occasion special for my students. Thank you for any donation you are able to give.

Best,

Ms. Hirsch
