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 Students

My students love to learn! They come to school with smiles on their faces every morning because they are excited for what the day might bring them.

I love my students.

They are always smiling and have such a thirst for knowledge. I work in a very impoverished school district where education is not always seen as a priority. The entire staff works constantly to make sure students realize how valuable an education is to their future.

My Project

I think normal book work is boring and I know the students do too. My students love art and love to be creative, and I want give them the chance to use their imaginations. I am requesting a variety of art supplies, including markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, and scissors. The art supplies will allow me to create integrate art into their lessons, which will appeal to their interests and make learning more exciting for them.

The more exciting I can make the lessons for the students, the more they are going to learn.

My students love art and love being creative, and the art supplies I have asked for will allow for them to get away from the normal paper and pencil assignments.
