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 Students

Here at our school, we focus on integrating art into all aspects of learning. Our students are given the chance to have such a creative atmosphere to work in. With Covid-19 effecting how schools are running, Art has been cut to once a week.

Art gives our students a chance to learn many social and emotional skills: self-expression, perseverance, problem solving, critical thinking, communicating, giving and receiving constructive feedback, collaborating, and much more.

Since we have less time to experience all the positives of having art time, I want to bulk up my supplies for the time we do have together!

My Project

A lot of the supplies are if we are able to go back hybrid, but some I can use over distance learning. What I am most excited for are NEW BOOKS! I love adding new books to my classroom library and there are some great ones on here.

We will cover social and emotional health more so than focus on learning new artists or art techniques.

We are living through strange unknown times right now, so I just want to make sure my students are mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy!
