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

Hello!

Mrs. G is going to Kindergarten!

My name is MacKayla Gillis and I am going into my fifth year of teaching. For the past four years I have taught fourth grade and for my fifth year I am switching to kindergarten. I am super excited but will need some new items to help with the transition to a lower grade.

A couple of items on this list are hands-on activities for the students, teaching materials for me, and some books to kick off our school year. Here is to an awesome year in K-Town.

Please help and support!

Mrs. Gillis
Grades PreK-2
