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

Testing season is around the corner and it can be so stressful, especially for my students with special needs. I am requesting some items for them to be able to work on quietly after testing.

After testing, students need to sit quietly for a very long amount of time which can be so difficult for my special education students.

I am requesting a puzzle board and puzzles, as well as a brain teaser game to give them something fun and quiet to do after testing that will offer them a brain break. We are also asking for a hand held shopvac to clean up our classroom as the year comes to an end. A clean classroom is important for learning.
