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

My young students have been greatly affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic as they have had fewer opportunities to develop their fine motor skills as they learn and write letters. My struggling early readers have yet to master accurately writing their letters as they learn to spell words. The best way to learn for all beginning learners is to use all of your senses, most especially TOUCH! These requested items can be folded into their daily learning practice to imprint the letters and their shapes into the child's muscle memory. I know these products will definitely increase motivation as they continue to master their alphabet letters and sounds.
