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

Students are receptive to learning when they learn through hands-on activities, figures and dolls offers an entertaining approach to introducing new concepts to children. These figures and dolls can boost communication skills through structured and playful teacher-led opportunities. I will use them in the classroom to target certain skills.

These figures offer to our children an opportunity for role-playing that allows them to explore new personalities, and ideas and develop their imagination.

They can enhance communication skills, listening, emotional development, social interactions, motor skills and creativity. By using animal puppets, I hope to foster a lifelong love of learning.
