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

One item included in this project includes puppets. These puppets will be used to model social skills and help the students learn how to handle them the correct way. Another item included in this projects is a bulk set of crayons. The kindergarten students use these crayons daily and they love drawing, so it is important that we always have them stocked up. The crayons help the students gain fine motor skills and allow them to be creative in their drawing.

The goal for this project is to help my students build character and creativity.
