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

Welcome to my classroom! This year I have the pleasure of working with 84 amazing fourth graders. This is my first year teaching science but we are learning and growing together. Everything I am requesting will help make our classroom a home. The puzzle mat will give my students a soft place to lounge when completing group work. The saucer chair, floor seats, and bookshelf will create a special library nook and will provide a comfy area for them to read a good book!

It's time for an upgrade!

We have a new classroom and want to make it a wonderful place to learn. The indoor recess games will help entertain us during these cold winter days and the hot spring afternoons. The STEM activites will allow students to particiapte in Fun Friday and expand their hands-on science experience. We want to say thank you in advance for your help in upgrading our classroom. We sincerely appreciate you!
