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

Most students in this school have been together all of their lives, they stay together from Pre-k all the way through the 8th grade. The things that make our students special is the fact that they love to learn new things. They become super excited about science, reading, and mathematics. In addition, they love to learn about their history and culture and work as a team to enhance the community around them.

The materials from this project will teach my students how economics is a source that strengthens one's community as well as helps a community have a sense of identity and pride within themselves.

This project will also teach students how to support people within your own community as well as teach them how to be better entrepreneurs.
