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 items in my cart will give my scholars items to make the end of the year fun, exciting and still educational. With the weather getting warmer I would love to use the chalk to help extend their learning outside.

The art easel will allow the students to express themselves with paint and chalk.

The students love to practice writing letters and numbers. By adding this easel more students will be willing to practice and prefect this skill. Our youngest learners love counting with snacks. By adding fruit snack into our math groups, they will be able to count, sort and have a fun treat all in one.
