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

Our littlest learners would benefit from this indoor and outdoor gross motor equipment. They can use the technology stand to be able to do their favorite dances and brain breaks together as a school community. They also can use the nets and balls to play games with one another, and learn to take turns, and to work together in a peaceful, calm environment. An obstacle in our community is bullying and violence among children. By teaching them at a young age how to respectfully play together and work together we can start to foster healthy relationships at a young age. They can begin to use their voice to work together as a team. They can learn how to peacefully come to an agreement that will benefit everyone!

Mrs. Gatto will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 22.
