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 Students
My beautiful scholars are kind, inquisitive and open to all kinds of exploration. They work together, look out for each other, and celebrate each other's victories. They use their real-world experiences to build upon their everyday learning and love to use materials from nature to create and explore.
As an early childhood teacher, I feel it is my duty to create a fun, safe, and encouraging learning space that will help lay the foundation for how young scholars view school, learning, and the world around them.
My Project
With each day that we continue distance learning, we are searching for more and more ways to increase engagement and keep students excited about logging in each day. Movement and music seem to be at the heart of our most engaging activities.
By giving my students drums, it will increase their focus and get them excited about learning.
We can use the drums to help tap out syllables, count and spell words and even read. I know my students will love having these drums in their homes and they will make such a great impact on our literacy and guided reading practice!
