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

Being a preschooler is so exciting. We like to keep the games and activities fresh and engaging for our little learners. I am requesting magnetic pattern builders, giant foam pattern blocks and some pattern books for kids! Math can be fun and we're going to have a blast with these amazing resources!

Patterns help children make predictions because they begin to understand what comes next.

They also help children learn how to make logical connections and use reasoning skills. If children understand patterns, they will be able to describe them, reproduce them, extend them, fill in missing elements, and create new patterns. Help us make learning fun for our preschoolers with these amazing resources on patterns!
