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

Hey good people! I absolutely LOVE everything about teaching young minds. I have been teaching lower grades for about seven years, and now I am venturing out to the upper grades in elementary school, third grade. I am SUPER excited and nervous at the same time because as we all know . . . this is a testing grade! That said, I am starting all the way over, coming from kindergarten, and I'm in desperate need of your help and support.

I THRIVE on creating a welcoming and fun environment for the kiddos!

The rug, printer, book bins, and other items that I am requesting will be used to create a fun, organized, bright, warm, and fuzzy atmosphere for the upcoming third graders. Bright colors and a fun atmosphere stimulate young minds and makes them eager to learn!

What makes these students special is that they're simply young people, with minds like sponges, who deserves the best education in an environment where they feel absolutely comfortable and energetic. Furthermore, many of the items requested are for organization (like the rolling cart, clipboards, and binders), but they're also to aid in developing routines that require the least amount of transition time, which further leads to more independence.
