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

Greetings! I'm going to start my third year of teaching Kindergarten in just a few days. I want to create a snack cart in my classroom so that every day if a child doesn't have a snack during snack time, they can go to the snack cart and select a snack. The items that I selected were chosen since some students are unfortunate. I am also aware that because germs spread easily, cleaning supplies are an essential part of any classroom. Additionally, I would adore having an award treasure box where students could earn prizes for participating in class. I would be incredibly grateful if the things on my list could be donated to my classroom so that I can have a good academic year!
