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

I am requesting these specific items to assist in helping my students become more responsible and have easy access to tools for learning. Having different color folders will make it easier for students to find assignments faster which will not take up so much time. Each color will represent a specific subject. The chart stand will display spelling words as well as be used for building and sorting words for the week. A pencil sharpener is an essential item for every classroom. It is used frequently throughout the day. Students need a heavy-duty pencil sharpener to last for the school year.

Every year I have students who are smart and want to learn.

They all have different qualities and various ways to learn. I just want to provide the best for them all.
