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

I am a first year teacher! I am excited to get to know my students and create a safe place for them to come into each morning! They are already special to me because they are making my dream of becoming a teacher come true.

The materials selected will help students to put concepts into perspective.

It will allow their imaginative play to come to life, and their creativity to soar. Students learning will flourish with use of these materials. Student will use them throughout their year in many ways.

The goals of these manipulatives and art supplies is enable my students to build a foundation of learning skills that they can take to their next year of schooling. My students will use the crayons and pencils to exhibit their creativity and learning while the storage will be used for them to know they have their own space in the classroom.
