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

Some of the things I have requested are things such as pencils, crayons, scissors, etc. I want to give my students the chance for everyone to start the year with the things they need. As well as tools for organization, such as book holders for the back of their chairs.

Students are in school for 8 hours a day and I think students should be able to have a snack time.

However, every household doesn’t have the funds to provided snacks. I try my best to make sure my students don’t feel excluded especially around things they aren’t able to control.
