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

Hello! This year I would love to teach my students about their favorite subject, Science! specifically Plants! I would like to teach my class all about life cycles, taking observations, taking care of living things, and plant science! Planting and gardening is such a great topic for all year around in a pre kindergarten classroom. Teaching children the importance of taking care of things, watering, sunning, and keeping living things alive with care is so important and also fun! My students love science, and love long term projects and observations. Having all of these amazing types of plants in their classroom will provide these lessons every day. Not to mention the awesome mood boosting properties and air quality improvement throughout our classroom!
