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 requesting a two-tier bookcase for student books and supplies. Organization is good for the brain. When a student’s work environment is clean and organized, they are able to function and learn better. The goal of this project is to get bookcase in the classroom for classroom books and supplies. The smaller cases are safe and easier for students to access materials. On the shelves will be student materials that they will be able to gather independently, and use during small group time without disturbing my small group instruction.
I am also requesting pre-sharpened pencils and various pencil sharpeners for my students to use.
With reliable sharpeners readily available, teachers can ensure that students have the necessary tools to complete their work efficiently. This simple solution can have a profound impact on classroom dynamics, fostering a more conducive learning environment.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
