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

“Equipping Special Students With Inclusive Equipment to Play With Peers” aims to create an environment where my special needs students can play together, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance with their peers. By providing playground equipment such as balancing rocks, a trampoline, sensory swing, jump toys, and even a compression tunnel for interactive and inclusive activities, my students with special needs can engage in play alongside their peers. This approach not only promotes physical activity and social interaction but also facilitates communication and understanding among all children, regardless of their abilities. The goal is to create an inclusive space where everyone feels valued and included, promoting empathy, friendship, and shared experiences.
