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 love art! We need some supplies so that we can be creative and paint more. The tempera paint cakes will allow us all to paint beautiful creations. These palettes are long lasting and have beautiful colors the students can use to paint anything they can imagine. The paint sticks will be great for quick painting projects. Lastly, the drying rack will allow us to keep our work organized and safe as it dries. We will use all of the slots to keep our creations orderly and to keep our classroom clean!
