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

These materials will help start the school year strong and organized. My students are eager to learn and soak up new information and that is only possible if we have the materials succeed.

Stations are a vital part of the school day and organization and setup are keep to running them efficiently.

The plastic bins will be used to organize the manipulatives for each station.The headphones will make our technology and listening stations run smoothly.

Classrooms need basic supplies for everyday use. The paper will be used for making station activities. Each year we go through a good deal of dry erase markers.

We eat lunch early, so the snacks will provide my students with an energy boost to finish the day strong. If students are hungry, they won't be able to focus on learning.
