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

Children learn best when their environment is structured and well- organized. Routines and procedures play a huge role in the day to day lives of students. It is important that students' have the necessary materials to be able to function and properly learn in the classroom.

As a first year teacher, I want to be able to provide my students with the best learning experience possible.

I want my students to be able to experience an organized classroom, learn how to be independent and use those organizational skills, and then to apply it to their lives (both inside school and out).

Mrs. Bethel
Grades PreK-2
