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

I have 19 Pre-K students in my classroom, that love to write, and learn new words, and letters!

This year in our writing center, we do not have the best setup for our students to properly and effectively write.

I am requesting this space-saver writing center because I believe it will greatly benefit our students. With this writing center, they will be able to sit at the desk and be in an organized area that is helpful when practicing their writing. The students will also benefit from the storage space at this writing center. This way all papers, pencils, and more will be easily accessible to them.

My goal is that with this writing center, it will be easier for the students to learn, and write during our center time, and additional one-on-one learning.
