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

In our dynamic classroom, organization is key to student success. Daily, students engage in various activities that need careful tracking of their progress, assignments, and resources. To support this, I aim to provide each student with a high-quality binder, essential for managing their work effectively and developing lifelong organizational skills.

Our classroom reflects a diverse mix of backgrounds and learning needs, with many students lacking the resources to buy necessary supplies.

Providing binders ensures every student starts the school year equipped for success, fostering an equitable learning environment.

We will measure the project's success through regular binder checks, student feedback, and academic performance tracking. Surveys will gather input from students and parents on the binders' impact on organizational skills and academic success.

This project offers more than binders; it equips students with the skills and confidence needed for academic and lifelong success. Your support will help create an organized, focused, and motivated classroom, paving the way for lifelong learning and achievement.
