Celebrating Black History Month

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

My little people work hard everyday they come to school. They work on reading, math, science and social skills but at the young age of 3 and 4 they become exhausted. Naptime is a time to recharge and regroup for more learning in the classroom.

To be warm and cozy at naptime, my little people need some covers to feel the security and comfort of a deep sleep.

Having beach towels that can stay in the classroom and are laundered at the school, will allow the students the clean comfortable environment for these young students. The students will keep their mat and towel together for the week and use it daily. At the end of the week they will be washed, dried and folded ready for an exciting new week in our classroom.
