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

Our classroom is our home away from home! We spend so much time in our room working hard and having fun. I want my students to come to a fully stocked classroom that's ready to receive them. The students love creating and bringing their ideas to life.

I want to make sure that our classroom is well stocked and full of materials they will need.

The colorful borders will make our bulletin boards pop. The staplers, scissors, glue gun, and tape will help me to make sure that everything stays up and in place. Bright colored paper, crayons, pens, stickers, and markers will allow the students to create beautiful work to be hung around the room. These supplies will help us transform our room into a beautiful learning environment.
