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 requesting a new classroom rug. This classroom rug will help with classroom management! Students will know their specific spot by the color they are sitting on!

We also are requesting some seat cushions!

My students love to read independently and these are a fun way to make students excited to read to themselves or others!

Please considering donating to our class projection! The students would love to have these items in their classroom to help motivate them and make our classroom management more efficient and more effective! Thank you!!
