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 at our school enter preschool with a variety of interests, skills, and talents. Every student, though, has one thing in common - a need for school supplies. Items like sheet protectors and folders are used daily as we complete different activities.

Having a variety of school supplies for our lessons and activities will help us start the school year on the right note, with everything we need in hand.

It may seem simple to ask for dry erase markers and laminating sheets, but these supplies truly make all the difference for my students, their families, and myself. I have also requested hand soap and a digital thermometer to ensure we maintain a healthy classroom. Help us start the school year off right and invest in a great start for our youngest learners!
