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 excited to implement flexible seating options in my classroom. By allowing students the autonomy to choose their seating during small group and independent work times, will increase engagement and productivity. Currently I have purchased small stools, but they have been well used and falling apart. I believe the freedom to select a comfortable workspace will significantly contribute to a motivating learning environment.

Our pencil sharpener is an essential member of our class that many of us may overlook, yet in a classroom setting, it is essential and the birthday chair covers are just a simple way to make my pumpkins feel special.

It’s the little things that really count!

Ms. Thompson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 23.
