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

Help me to bring this activity to life. So many children are struggling to sustain meaningful relationships. It is so important in preschool for children to create and sustain meaningful relationships with adults and other children. Emotional development is a child's ability to express, recognize, and manage his or her emotions, as well as respond appropriately to others' emotions. So with the books, blocks, games, and art materials my little scholars will be able to develop a sense of community, establish rituals and routines, promote self control and take turns as they explore their emotions daily.
