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

Please help provide a butterfly kit, ant farm, magnifying glasses, grow lights, carnivorous plants, and propagation stations. All kits and activities are aligned to science standards and will provide amazing opportunities for hands-on scientific investigations of our natural world, plants, and animals!

I teach an amazing class of resilient, spirited, and energetic scholars who highly benefit from learning through real-world experiences.

The materials I am requesting will build engaging anticipation and excitement for science, nature, plants, and living things. Having classroom pets and a garden we have seen the social-emotional learning impact those opportunities provide!

Thank you for taking the time to read my project and we greatly appreciate your support!

Mrs. Napper
Grades PreK-2
