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 Students
My students come from many different backgrounds and come to me with very different experiences. They speak many different languages and have very different educational needs. They come from different kinds of families and different living situations.
My students are coming to school for the first time.
These three to five year olds are eager to learn and engage with their peers. The best part of working with my students is that they all accept and love each other regardless of all their differences.
My Project
My preschool students love to play with Legos! We just don't have enough! I look at my students working hard at building structures with the meager legos we have and they often have to stop their creativity because they just run out of legos.
Legos provide a unique opportunity for students to make their hands stronger for writing, zipping and playing while encouraging creative play.
Students don't realize how much strength they need to build with legos or how much it will help them with other skills.
I have a group of students that love legos but we need more! Please help us!
