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 Students

I teach at an early childhood school that houses only students in pre-k and kindergarten. Though a small school, my students have large personalities. My students have imaginations that run wild and often make for great conversation. They are imaginative, creative and inquisitive. They enjoy participating in hands-on activities and rotating to the many learning centers in our classroom.

My students are magical little people with big hearts.

They are eager to share out and participate in the learning process. Although there are some language barriers present my students embrace one another. My students are enthusiastic learners who come from diverse backgrounds.

My Project

Students will be able to utilize mindfulness resources provided on a daily basis. The borrowing library will allow students to take home the mindfulness resources to share with their parents, so that their mindfulness/feelings are shared at home and school. Students can switch them out weekly, and take home the bag for their particular need that interests them. In class, students will utilize the mindfulness resources to work out and discuss their feelings and learn different ways to handle their emotions so they can be successful in and out of school.
