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 in my third year as a CSS teacher and I have found that play is the best way to learn social skills. My students also benefit from sensory breaks and it helps with behavior and engagement. I would love to add these items to my class!

My students would love each of these items (lamp, sensory toys, Play-Doh, etc.) and they will help them learn to the best of their abilities this year.

My students also don’t have access to the STEM items they will need for their endeavors. I would love to add all of these amazing items to my classroom so that my students will be ready for their future! Please consider donating to my list and putting a smile on my students' faces! Thanks for taking a look at my list!
