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

The items that I selected are to have and keep our classroom warm and friendly. When our scholars enter the class I want the energy to be friendly, warm, positive, and calming. With the right decor, motivational words, the Oh Happy Day Bundle, beautiful bulletin boards to display their work, and a clean room they will have no choice but to want to learn. Their minds will be open with all the positive energy the room will have, and their learning and participation will be over the moon. When scholars have an inviting place to come their attendance is high, their grades reflect growth, and their imagination is overwhelming.
