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

This upcoming year, I want to introduce a new system to support my students' organization and productivity. Instead of traditional agenda books, I want to implement student homework folders. These folders serve as a dedicated space for assignments and also provide a handy spot for storing notes, making it easier for students to refer back to important information while completing their homework.

Additionally, I've decided to incorporate rolling carts at each group table.

These carts are stocked with all the essential supplies students need throughout the day. By having these resources easily accessible right at their tables, students can minimize disruptions and stay focused on their learning tasks without the need to constantly leave their seats.

I believe these adjustments will greatly benefit my students and contribute to a more efficient and effective classroom environment.
