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 project is full of resources to help students to show their creativity during art time.

Giving students the tools to draw and create is a wonderful gift.

We go through a lot of paper, crayons, and glue sticks in our classroom. My students have the opportunity to create daily not only during art activities but also as a social-emotional tool. Students have the opportunity to draw their feelings whenever they are showing Big Feelings! Drawing gives students the opportunity to showcase their feelings in a positive way.

This project also has prizes for our treasure chest to reward hard work!
