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

Our classroom has dry erase tables that are constantly covered in diagrams and our science notebooks are FULL. All of this is evidence of how hard we have worked and all that we have learned.

We have been WRITING this year, and the dry erase markers have dried out and the pencils are sharpened down to stubs.

Please help our classroom running smoothly by replenishing these materials for us. Nobody likes writing with stubby pencils without erasers or trying to eke out a little more use from a marker that really belongs in the trash. We need an infusion of these materials to keep us learning through the end of the year!
