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

In the spring, our kids have to take many tests for our state and local district. It's hard to keep concentration strong when there are many days the kids have to test for different subjects.

Chewing on mints or gum helps the brain stay focused and concentrate.

I want to be able to share these items with my fellow math and ELA team hall mates at school. I believe we can help kids concentrate more when they have something small to suck or chew on during these long tests that they have to take for our state or district. It's not just important for my classes to concentrate, but also the classes in our hallway to as well. We need the halls to be silent, so there are no distractions in our room either. I appreciate your help in providing these for at least 3 teachers in my hallway this spring. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
