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

As our fifth graders prepare for middle school, organization will be key to their success. Attending four classes for core instruction will be quite different than having only two classes. In preparation for this transition, I would like to use binders to keep notes, assignments, and other information easily accessible and organized.

My future leaders can be placed on an early path to success by being well-organized.

I want to engage my students, so they become confident, critical thinkers who thirst for learning. Good organization skills help develop strong study habits and effective time management.

I love being able to give my students a strong foundation. If they get a good start, chances for future success are greater.
