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 letters I ordered will assist the students in spelling and learning the english language. I also ordered a calendar and other manipulatives so they can learn the seasons, months, days and keep track of the school year.

The looks on the scholars face when they make the connection with english and their native language is priceless.

These items will make a world of difference in assisting the students with their learning. Kids love sitting on the floor while we are at the board learning, so the seat cushions are a nice surprise for them.
