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

I plan to use the requested materials to continue to maintain a positive, inviting classroom for my students and future students. When discussing with my students how I can keep my classroom in a positive atmosphere they told me to keep the bright colors. When they are having a bad morning, they walk into my classroom and feel welcomed, happy, and loved. One student described his experience in my class as an amazing feeling. The teachers pay teachers gift card will help me find a variety of teacher-created resources to make math and reading fun during instruction. The class set of scissors will help my students have their pair of scissors instead of having to share one pair at each table. The carpet will go in the classroom library area so that students can relax and read a book, or if they are having a mentally bad day they can use the library as a calming corner and have a comfortable area to sit in.
