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

Without chair pockets, there will not be an easy location for my students to keep their items. My students have materials such as folders, pencil pouches, journals, crayons, and more. This storage item is the answer! Kindergartners love to be self-sufficient , and my hearts desire is to build on it by providing a personal and organized space for their items at their fingertips. This additional space in the chair pockets will help to maximize their learning time in school, as well as to develop a sense of personal responsibility and organizational skills.

Reading is the key to all learning, and it begins in Kindergarten!

My students love being read to, but their faces brighten when they can read all by themselves. Items in this project will to help teach phonics skills such as letter sounds. My kindergarteners will also have many opportunities for hands on learning, practice, and working on new skills in fun and engaging ways.

With your help our future readers will soar!
