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

In my 8:1:1 classroom, we focus on teaching our students academic and life skills, so they can be as independent as possible.

My students excel with hands-on experiences and we set high expectations to encourage students to reach beyond their greatest expectations.

I would like to teach my students a new skill that they will be able to do after they leave our school.

We want to start teaching students to bring their creation to life. We will use the Cricut machine to make letter, key chains stickers, we would also be able to make other items with the school logo on it. The students will be able to express themselves artistically and then create it.

Student will be able to work together to complete the projects they create.
