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

The way a classroom looks and feels is very important to the learning environment. The items that I am requesting will help students have an organized room.

With the start of the new year at a new school, I am planning now to make sure that my students have everything that they need.

Pencil sharpeners will be used to make sure they always have writing utensils and colored pencils for map activities. The better than paper rolls, lettering and boarder will be used to decorate and highlight certain areas of the classroom. The buckets will be used to organize classroom supplies, such as highlighters, pens, and other classroom objects.

Even though I have not met them yet, all of my students are special in their own way and I expect nothing but greatness.

Grades 6-8
