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

My students are 5 and 6-year-old kindergarten students who are hard at work discovering and learning new things as we work on writing, drawing, and math routines and skills throughout the day. The children go through a lot of basic materials as novices learning how to properly use the classroom tools.

The pencils, crayons, markers, folders, and erasers are the basic tools we use all day, every day and we're running low.

We will use the laminating pouches and cardstock paper to make the home coaching materials durable so they will last a long time, as well as the crafts that go along with instructional units which we display all over the classroom. Super sticky Post-It notes are used during math routines for our growing number line and to graph the various data from surveys taken as part of math routines.
