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

This rug will be used to during whole group and small group activities. Students will be able to work together while sitting comfortably on a map of the world. This will provide the students the opportunity to learn from each other while learning about the world around them. The classroom rug will provide a space for students to engage in conversation and learn from each other while discovering the art of discussion. Both the students and I will be thankful for your contribution and utilize it for social and academic learning.
