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

As teachers continue to support those students who missed so many basic social emotional skills during Covid, teamwork, collaboration and basic kindness continue to be a challenge. My students love to play sports so I use this as a class reward. When students do their best to work well with others and treat others with respect and courtesy, they earn extra time for outside sports. These reward of balls, whistles and more continues to reinforce the skills of working together by communicating appropriately and practicing teamwork and being a "good sport." Please help me to provide resources to continue implementing this as a reward.
