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 have been working incredibly hard on Reading. They are paying attention and really learning the "secrets" to how to read. Having a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will help me purchase resources for my classroom. TPT is an amazing website to find new and different ways to teach students. The resources always add a little more fun to our classroom and our everyday activities.

I am requesting a TPT gift card to help purchase differentiated resources and activities for my students.

The gift card will give me access to great resources for more effective planning. The materials found on TPT are creative, relevant, and highly engaging! My students have really been working hard and I just want to keep encouraging that every day! The paper will help me be able to copy the things I find on TPT.
