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
My students come from many different backgrounds and come to me with very different experiences. They speak many different languages and have very different educational needs. They come from different kinds of families and different living situations.
My students are coming to school for the first time.
These three to five year olds are eager to learn and engage with their peers. The best part of working with my students is that they all accept and love each other regardless of all their differences.
My Project
This year we moved to a full day program and these four year olds have energy to burn! Help us burn our energy! We need an individual trampoline, a sit a spin and bouncing ball as a way to expel some of our energy so we can have better days!
In our classroom, we will have a designated area where the preschool students will be able to go to jump, wiggle, spin and bounce out their excess energy.
Having a productive outlet for our energy will help us learn better and be able to sit for large group and small group activities.
