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

My students enjoy reading and math center time! They like to share their learning experiences throughout the day. However, they could use new books and working materials to accomplish their daily academic goals. Also, a bookshelf to store their new materials for organization, would be great!

With newer books and enriching learning materials, students can achieve their academic goals.

Instead of sharing similar learning experiences altogether, they can practice kindness, waiting and sharing more creatively. Also, I think a new place where there is a bookshelf along with new books will keep them interested and excited about learning! During reading and math time, they can gather, work together and share ideas!
