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

The items in this project will be used in a program to help students at our school learn how to do a new sport. Many of our students have never played jump rope. This will be an opportunity for them to learn something new. The speaker will be used to give students positive music to listen to as they jump. The bullhorn will be used to help get their attention when it is time to stop.

The benefits of learning to jump rope are boosting heart health and improving coordination.

This can also help to ease anxiety. By supporting this project the students will be able to build their self-esteem by learning something new. They will make new friends and build bonds with other students. This is a multi grade program, so this will help students in grades Kindergarten to 8th grade.
