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

These items (recorder, notebooks, markers, folders, floor dots & music books) are helping ALL the learners in our Music space! We see the entire school, and my Department knows how to keep it rockin! We will remain loud and proud in our efforts! We work together with our colleagues to strengthen students in ALL areas of learning - The 3 R's, and adding our own 4th - ROCK!

We want to be reaching ALL students, ALL the time - project based assessments will help our scholars to be creative thinkers!

We encourage the collaborative efforts! In the Arts Department, we like to improve morale for this approach to learning! The proof will be in the pudding!

Grades 6-8
