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 new teacher to our district. I came halfway through all of that with ordering for the classrooms had already been done. The children in my classroom have not had a consistent teacher until now. They were not able to have a teacher pick out educational materials special to their needs. By the time I came in there was no money left and they were using donated and broken toys that have been there for a long time. Some of the puzzles in the classroom say made in 1978. We definitely need some updates and love. Please help me support my class.
