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

Hello! My name is Ms. Thornton and this is my second year teaching in the inner city of Atlanta! While teaching is my passion, and all I ever want to do daily is to improve my craft, I stand in the need of some HELP!

Being a new teacher, I am slowly building my resources in the classroom.

I see the need to have supplemental activities to help bridge the gap especially in literacy. 98% of students in my school are on reduced/free lunch. My school is their safe haven, and I want to make sure I am equipped to provide them a learning environment where they can be productive and get hands on experiences with learning materials.

If you could be so kind to help donate and to help me build my resources so not only will I impact my students this year, but also impact the future students I will encounter.
