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

For the start of the next school year, I am hoping to change the theme in my classroom. I would like to make it more of a calmer setting, by adding plants, vines, and greenery, in the form of real plants, fake vines, and decorations.

I am requesting help with making my classroom look more like nature with the help of plants and decorations.

I want my students to have a calmer setting! I want them to feel like their classroom is their safe place, a haven, to learn!

With your help and donations, I can make that happen.

Mrs. Simonetti-Benson
Grades PreK-2
