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 spend a lot of time cutting paper to create booklets for my students. They use these booklets for journaling and taking notes. That is a lot of cutting and laminating. This will cut the amount of time spent creating these items and allow students to be more creative quickly.

These supplies will allow me to continue to be creative in my classroom.

My students enjoy writing and are learning how to annotate different texts. The booklets that I create allow them to do both of these. These students come from low-income families and they do not have money for supplies. Please help to continue to be able to supply what is needed for them to be successful.
