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

Thank you for clicking on our project! Please help me give my students materials to use in our dramatic play center. My students love to play "house" and these materials will help them with that! I want to provide my students with items that they might have at their house, or not, so that they can have a complete "home" experience. They can use the materials to clean their house and cook dinner. They can even have their very own pet! I know my students would really love these materials!
