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 students are fun, loving, and very eager to learn. I plan to use these project kits to have a fun way to end our last module of the school year. The last module focuses on the solar system, stars, and all space related items.

I want students to be able to set aside the planets with visual representations!

They will be able to have a hands-on model of the solar system while they are learning facts and answering questions. They will also be able to keep their projects to show off to their families.
