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

My students inspire to select many different occupations as career choices when they become adults. To help them with their goals and objectives, I have noticed that the students are highly creative with their artistic abilities.

The materials that I am requesting will help the students continue to develop their abilities as creative thinkers and visual learners.

Paint Supplies- The paints and paintbrushes will help the students put their creative ideas down on paper. This also give students who may have trouble expressing themselves orally a chance to be able to describe their ideas by their drawings.

Modeling Clay-The clay will give the students another way to visually express what potential occupations that may want to aspire to be by making a model of the place in which they may want to work at in the future.

I thank you for your time and consideration

Sincerely,

Mr.Tucker
