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 enthusiastic students demonstrate confidence and independence inside a well-organized classroom. This is where they learn the most. They function at their best when everything inside the classroom is in the right place. They are very efficient in following patterns and routines.

For this reason, the use of binders to organize students' documents (IEPs) and students' daily assignments is a must.

Furthermore, the use of stamps to give feedback on corrected assignments is equally essential. Instructional time is optimized when materials are readily accessible and properly arranged.

May you consider our humble request and help my students achieve their educational goals. We thank you all so much in advance.
