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

My students are special because they humble me and they make me a better person. When working with students, every day is different and you learn from them daily. The materials requested for this project will be used as incentives for my students when they are caught doing a great job.

Playing board games increases intelligence and sharpens skills that promote abstract thinking and will help stimulate thought processes and memory.

These games will also help the skill level of students and help to develop hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and problem-solving.
