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

As the end of the year approaches, it's such a bittersweet moment. I've had the pleasure of having most of my students for either two or three years. As sad as it is, I'm very happy to send them off to kindergarten. The milestones and memories we have made are some I will never forget.

I would love to give them the confidence to be successful next year in kindergarten.

I would love to send them home with gifts and books for the summer to remember their time and experiences in preschool. Some are getting excited about the new adventure, but I have some who are not so ready. The gift bags allow me to send them home with love from preschool to kindergarten.
