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

Please help supply a greenhouse, compost, butterfly, hydroponics, terrarium, insect, praying mantis, and hermit crab kits! All kits are aligned to science standards and will provide amazing opportunities for hands-on scientific investigations of our natural world, plants, and animals!

I teach an amazing class of resilient, sprited, and energetic scholars who highly benefit from learning through real-world experiences.

The kits I am requesting will build an amazing excitement for science! Through having classroom pets and a garden we have seen the social-emotional learning impact those opportunties provide!

Thank you for taking the time to read my project and we greatly appreciate your support!
