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

I am lucky enough to teach 4th grade! My students are so unique and ready to learn. I want to give them nothing but the best so that they know they can be the best. I love growing and learning with my awesome students!

Science and Social Studies are so important and my students want to soak it all up!

Through DonorsChoose I will be able to bring them really cool and useful materials to learn with. Help me turn my scholars into mini scientists and historians!

My Project

After a semester together my students and I have noticed some things around our classroom that we need to help us learn better. Headphones are a must (which are in a different request) however, the organization system for the headphones is in this project. My students also need new drawstring bags to carry their supplies in from class to class. Many of our learning materials are falling off of the walls from tired tape.

Last semester was full of learning and fun, now it's time for a new year and fresh start on some of our classroom essentials.

All of these materials help my students stay accountable for their own belongings and their own learning. As my 4th graders grow and mature they are becoming more responsible, more excited about learning, and more respectful of their environment. Please help me continue to foster those habits by donating to this project, every little bit helps!
