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

These materials are truly needed for my classroom so that the children can explore on a daily basis. My children deserve the best learning opportunities, while in my hands, so they can be successful in their future. These materials are currently the best interests for the children in my care. They love blocks and building, imaginitive play, and music and movement. These materials will help broaden their imaginations while in the classroom daily. I know each and every child would be just as excited if not more than I would be to receive these materials this school year.
