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 fifth-grade students are amazing! They are a lively group of inquisitive children. They live in a low socioeconomic area and attend a Title I School. Despite the daily challenges my fifth graders face, my students come to school every day with a smile on their faces ready to learn.

Please help me give my fifth graders books and resources to celebrate Black History Month!

These materials are essential for my students to complete their Black History Month projects. My students will be so excited to use these new resources!
