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 Students

Our classroom is home to two half-day Early Childhood Special Education classes. With up to twelve children per class, they keep me and my assistant on our toes. The children are all between the ages of two and four with developmental delays in the moderate to severe range.

Our school is located in a community plagued by high poverty, high crime, and low graduation rates.

Our school district has very limited funds and high staff turnover. Due to budget restraints, the teachers rarely receive money for supplies or learning materials for our students.

My Project

By providing students with a variety of play choices and special activities during our recess time, we hope to increase the functional prosocial play. Preschool students often do not know what to do during recess and will often chase and play fight which leads to accidents and real fights.

By creating appropriate large motor choices, the students will learn to follow simple rules and know better how to engage their peers in constructive and cooperative play choices.

Initially led by adults and taught some simple turn-taking games, the students will eventually be able to lead themselves and create new games of their own.
