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

This is a bright and active group of five and six-year-old children. They love to create and tell stories. They love to read and be read to. They are quickly learning to work together, which is a vital skill in our world. My children work in small groups and independently throughout the day. This helps them learn to focus and improve self-control issues. Small group activities that let us get up and move help our ADHD tendencies stay under control. We need real reasons to move and stretch.

We grow in all areas by practicing and playing together.

Writing throughout the day in science, social studies, math, and even in art helps us in so many ways. We get noisy, but we learn so much together. We need supplies to grow as readers, writers, and illustrators. We need to show the colors of our ideas. We need ways to be active and help us learn to control our ADHD tendencies. There is so much to learn.

My Project

Kindergarten includes a large variety of skills in all areas of our lives. We need to master letters and their sounds. We need to practice numbers and their quantities. We need to learn sight words and so much more.

With card stock, we can take these skills home to review.

We can include our parents, guardians and other family members in our growth. With card stock as the base, we can take home matching games in phonics, math and lots of other areas. This card stock will be used all year in all areas. It will let us share our strengths with our world. It will help us decrease our weaknesses.
