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

My students are excited and love to learn every day. The weather station I chose will allow students to check the weather each day. The storm glass gives students another visual way to see the weather. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card is perfect for online resources to reinforce the previously taught lessons.

Students love learning about science, but what makes them even more happy to learn is having hands on activities to go with their lessons.

They are already excited to learn about weather and these materials will give them another way to learn.
