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

Student materials will be used for sensory learning experiences. They will use the dough, bubbles and chalk to participate in age appropriate fine and gross motor activities. Students will also work on cooperative learning with classmates by using the colored pencils and notebooks to create group assigned projects. The materials provided in the project will help support the growth and development of young learners in math, reading, and science. Students will use the shovels and buckets in outdoor activities to help develop their skills in math and science. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!
