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 Students
The children in my pre-K classroom are so enthusiastic and eager to learn. Every day is a new adventure with these young friends. They are so energetic and lively, which helps me remember why I first fell in love with early childhood education.
The children come from very diverse backgrounds.
We strive to give each child what they need to feel loved and secure. This then allows them to grow from wonderful, loving children to inquisitive, eager students ready to take on the world!
My Project
One of the most important lessons our young students will learn in PreK is self-responsibility. They must learn that everything has its place and they must clean up their toys when they are done playing. Right now, our toys are lacking proper homes on their shelves. Our containers are mismatched, flimsy, and, in some cases, cracked and broken.
We want to make sure our toys are in new, safe boxes with labels to know where the toys belong.
The clear, sturdy boxes from Lakeshore are durable and long-lasting. The plastic sleeves will allow us to label the shelves and containers so that all children will know which toys go in which bins and on which shelves.
