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

What I love about this project is that students build their social and emotional skills through games, while having a place to store their belongings.

Moreover, this project will encourage independence: As children grow older, they will develop independence in managing their behavior positively.

Teaching children problem-solving skills will help children to address minor issues on their own. This can help build confidence and promote healthy social habits.

Above all, my project will make indoor recess enjoyable and engaging for the child. When children are having fun, they are more receptive to learning and practicing social skills naturally.

Children learn by example, so they will be mindful of their behavior during game time. Children model positive social skills such as active listening, empathy, cooperation, and respectful communication.
