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

Celebrate Earth Day Every Day! Every year on April 22nd we celebrate our planet. Really, in our Science Programs we learn about our home planet throughout the year! Learning about the physical topography, layout, and unique characteristics that our planet possesses is a wonderful way to appreciate our home world.

These are wonderful resources of MAPS, GLOBES, CRAFTS and awesome activities to explore!

A variety of activities and crafts can help students get excited and also appreciate our planet. Small positive experiences learning and trying something new can have a very positive impact on future activities and choices. I hope students learn to love our world and positively contribute to it in the future!

Thanks in advance for your support!

Mrs. Watkins STEM
Grades 6-8
