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

My kindergarten classroom is full of creative students with various learning styles! Each of the items listed for this project will be a huge help and greatly appreciated. All of the items will be used in small group and whole group settings to encourage students to express themselves while they learn. Small groups are designed according to each students' individual needs and learning styles!

The individual CD players as well as the regular CD player will help me include music in my classroom.

Music plays an important role in my classroom. Classical music is played throughout the day to help soothe my students. There are several musical resources that would be beneficial to my students and obtaining the resources to be able to incorporate them into my classroom would be amazing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my class' project! We greatly appreciate any contributions! We appreciate any current and future opportunities to include self expression in our learning!
