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

Please help our classroom get organized for our 2024-2025 school year. Our students are special education students and need organization and structure in our classroom.

We need copy paper and we need cubby containers and a racks to organize our school supplies.

Our students learn best when there is constant structure in our assignments and school materials. As students enter the classroom they know exactly where to go to get the materials they need for each assignment. This reduces the amount of stress they experience when attending school each day.

Mr. Sims
Grades 6-8
