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
My school is a Title One school with ninety-nine percent of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. I am teacher of students with autism who are amazing! Each is only three or four years old, but is brilliant in his or her own right. Some are very vocal and receive time in the general education classroom.
One has gone from saying three words at the beginning of last school year to speaking in complete sentences.
Others are learning to use the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) to express their needs. I love the way my students work together in play center. I am proud of the way they have welcomed new students into our class!
My Project
Last school year, my students made Easter baskets and loved it! One parent volunteered to purchase the materials and bring them to the school. She even helped to assemble the baskets. Last year’s baskets were filled with colorful eggs, books and a little bit of candy.
This year I would like to recreate this fun, springtime experience for my students.
I am asking for paper grass, as well as plastic eggs to fill the baskets with. Some of the eggs will be stuffed with candy and others will have small toys inside. I am most excited to add a copy of Green Eggs and Ham to each basket. This special edition board book includes lift-up flaps to reveal hidden pictures and stickers to help children retell the story and further explore the book characters.
