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

My students are very enthusiastic about first grade, and I would love to provide them with a learning environment that keeps that enthusiasm going. They are spontaneous, eager to learn and an extreme joy to teach.

Magnetic letters, white boards erasers, Lysol wipes and sight word markers will be used to create a warm and welcoming classroom environment .The door decor will be used to captivate their eyes and open up a world of imagination as they enter our classroom.

With your kind contribution I will be able to create this learning environment for my students which would be their home away from home.

Thank you in advance for the opportunity to create this space for my first graders.
