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

In my class, I have 36 kids. That's is a lot of paper and water bottles that they need each and every day.

Having plastic water bottles would allow my kids to reuse them and therefore produce less plastic waste.

Each student would get a water bottle that they would refill daily and we would clean weekly. The plastic sleeves would allow us to use less copies of paper while still being independent with skills. The planner is so I can make sure we are having a learning filled day. These will help to teach my students how to be better citizens of our planet.
