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 am employed at a school that is a 200-day school, and the demand for supplies is critical. My students and their families will not have sufficient time to get supplies for school for their children which puts teachers in a bind.

This project will help with getting certain things that parents can't provide.

The paper and laminating sheets are for me to be prepared with handouts and different activities that can be done in class. The tissues, wipes, and cleaning solution will help keep the classroom clean and ready for allergy and cold season.

Ms. Holmes
Grades 3-5
