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

Our goal as a preschool program is to create an outdoor classroom for the students to learn and play. The border would be used daily to contain the rubber mulch to keep them safe when playing in the outdoor classroom. This border is heavy-duty and durable for outdoor elements.

Borders provide visual boundaries so students know where to stay.

The goal is to have multiple learning areas throughout our school building so they are not stuck in the classroom learning. It is important to help these students generalize the information.
