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 classroom is a vibrant learning space where your support can truly make a difference. With your help, I aim to enhance organization and create an inviting atmosphere that promotes student engagement and comfort. Two classroom rugs will establish distinct areas for math and ELA activities, ensuring students have dedicated spaces for focused learning. Kellogg's Pastry Crisps, a student favorite, will serve as incentives for positive behavior and academic achievements, fostering a positive classroom environment.

Cheerios, alongside a convenient dispenser, will provide a nutritious snack option to support students' nutritional needs during critical learning moments.

Additionally, decorative elements such as a tassel garland, pastel lanterns, and borders will transform the space into a welcoming and stimulating environment. Completing our organizational setup, Iris document boxes for each month will streamline lesson planning and materials management throughout the school year.

Your contribution will directly impact my students' learning experiences, ensuring they have the resources and environment necessary to excel.

Thank you for considering my project and helping me create a supportive and inspiring classroom.

Ms. Hamilton
Grades 3-5
