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

The store and explore project will be the beginning of something new and exciting. The chair pockets will allow my students to have their personal items and supplies right at their fingertips. My students are very important to me. Seeing them happy with their very own storage and supplies makes my heart happy.

A smile on my students' faces and bright eyes make my day.

Having a variety of crayons and multi-color paper to choose from, will give my students ownership in their work. The pencil sharpener will help pencils stay sharp and ready for work. The smelly markers will be interesting and exciting for my students to explore.

All in all, Store and Explore will be the best project that will allow my students to become little artists. A place for storage, a variety of crayons, markers with a sweet smell, a variety of colored paper, and a pencil sharpener to keep them on point. The sky is the limit. I am excited and can't wait to see my students explore their talents. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart for your support for my students.
