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 are enthusiastic and excited to discover new and fun ways to learn. They bring a lot of energy to class every day.

They love to read about diverse historical figures and are excited about returning to in-person learning.

My Project

As we look forward to returning to a form of in-person learning, I want to help ensure that the students have the supplies they need to be safe and successful in the classroom. We are not allowed lockers or cubies due to covid, therefore students will need adequate space to put their supplies such as these caddies and especially the seat sacks that will be personable for each student.

My class loves to read about important historical figures, especially diverse historical figures.

The Who Was books are amazing, and I know my students will love those. I also need a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card tomsecure high quality digital resources for my students.
