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

At five and six years old, my children love working to create writing pieces and crafts connected to our units of study. In our classroom, the children are afforded a Purposeful Playtime to explore in centers and talk about what they're doing. The practice, which is a predictable structure within our kindergarten classroom helps to build and develop social and language skills.

In our writing and craft center, we will use blank journals, sentence strips, different pencil types, erasers, construction paper, stickers to create sticker stories, hole punchers, and designer scissors to create their writing pieces and crafts.

Writing practice is needed daily in kindergarten and our writing and craft center gives us added time in our day to provide the children with extra support.
