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

The products that I have selected such as the Play Road Tap for toy cars, 19 Pack Construction Toys, Mini Diecast Cars, Play Under Construction Learning Zone Bulletin Board Set, and Wooden Traffic Signs For Kids - Zany Street Signs will help my students by giving them additional resource and knowledge of our buildings and signs units.

During the buildings and signs units, the students explore how buildings are made, the materials that are used to make building, and different types of buildings.

In the signs unit, students explore why we need signs, and how some signs can keep us safe.

Having these stem resources for morning experiences, and in areas such as Blocks and Discovery, it can positively affect my student's curiosity about buildings and their communities.
