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

It's hard to believe that we are already looking toward the beginning of next school year, but it's about that time. Having these supplies at the end of this school year means I can put them out on the first day of school!

Please help me refresh my classroom so we can start the new year off strong!

I like to ensure that my classroom is stocked with the supplies students need to be successful so that we can hit the ground running and avoid any barriers. This project will make sure we have folders to stay organized, charts to track our independent reading succcess, pens and pencils to complete our work, highlighters to mark up our texts, and other essential supplies to make sure our classroom runs smoothly from the beginning. Thank you for your generosity and support of my students!
