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 preparing to make a huge grade level change next year and need supplies for my classroom. These items will provide an exciting experience for my kindergarten students.

Kindergarteners need lots of tangible materials to work with as they learn foundational skills to be ready for the rest of their school careers.

The Lakeshore alphabet sound teaching tubs will be used daily for differentiated small-group instruction. The easy word lock and key and CVC puzzles will be great for independent centers after they are taught. The restaurant menu covers are going to be used as writing centers for my students to use. They are sturdy and I can put the resources my students need. Thank you so much for considering helping my future students.
