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 work in a low-income special education classroom where we do not receive a budget for basic classroom supplies. It is the middle of the year, and we need basic supplies.

We need the basics to finish out the year strong.

We need very basic classroom materials for the rest of the school year. We are also running low scissors, glue sticks, and a TT gift card for differentiated material. These supplies are really low in our special education classroom, and we would love to replenish them to keep our classroom running. These supplies would allow us to keep up our hands-on learning.
