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

Help give my students a learning experience through dramatic play, and building tools and figurines that will later help develop them mentally through physical activity.

These items will not only help my children experience learning through play, but they will also be allowed to learn life skills, manners, and proper etiquette in different scenarios provided through dramatic play.

With the self-correcting puzzles and toys, my children will be able to see their own mistakes without the correction of an adult. This will provide an experience of independent play and manipulation among the children.
