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

As the weather gets nicer it is always a treat to take learning outdoors! This year we are working on spending more time learning in our outdoor spaces and need to build up our supplies to help us be prepared!

Help give our students the tools and resources to learn about nature with reference books, binoculars and tools to help them explore the outdoors!

We are excited to learn about birds, animals and plants with these resources. We will use the tarps for alternatives seating options, the bins to collect specimens and the magnifying glasses to examine our treasures!

Help give our students the tools to access and explore the great outdoors this spring!

Ms. Johnson
Grades 3-5
