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

This is a huge project, but it will have a giant impact on my STEAM lab for next school year. I have some resources listed that need a few more sets like the Marble Run and the Legos. I also have some standard things like pencils and erasers.

Great new activities are listed that students will love.

These include magnetic building sets, Uno cards, playing cards for card stacking, Connect 4 and more. My students aren't exposed to these things like other students in different demographics. I'm concentrating on thinking and reasoning projects as well as building.

Thanks for your support.
