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

Students need to have the ability to use their own learning styles in classrooms to help with with their learning. The more colorful and eye appealing they are the more attention the students will pay to what they are learning.

By the students having the ability to create their own posters with chart paper and markers instead of seeing one created by someone else.

Students will be more inclined to actually attempt to do the work. The more hands on the students work is the better their knowledge becomes. This will increase learning abilities and wanting to attend school.

Your assistance with these supplies (chart paper, markers and pencil sharpener) is appreciated as the school that I teach at has a large number of homeless students who will greatly benefit by your generosity.

Thank you so much for your help

Mrs. Pankowski

Mrs. Pankowski will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 2.
