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

My students have been working so hard from home through a multitude of challenges. Whether they are assisting brothers and sisters with school work while working themselves, watching siblings during school hours, making their own meals, or just working hard to stay focused on the computer for hours on end, their grit is amazing!

My third grade students love to learn, love school, and love spending time with each other, even if it has only been online so far this year.

They can't wait to get the chance to actually see each other in person again soon!

My Project

Our students will be returning to the building in a few short weeks. While so many are excited, many are nervous to be around so many people for the first time in about a year. I would love to be able to supply each child with their own personal recess bag so they can have fun, talk, and share their creations at recess safely. They will be able to draw and make items that only their hands will touch with your help.

Each child would have a pre-packaged drawstring bag with a plastic folder full of colored construction paper and white paper.

They would also get a coloring book, a pack of crayons, a mini white board, expo markers, play dough, and play dough cutting toys so they can have fun during their free time safely.
