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

These manipulatives will help my students work on much needed skills within kindergarten. These skills will help my students learn needed skills in a fun way. I have included serval hands on activities students can work on independently that will help them hold on to the materials and lessons taught throughout the year. The requested materials will help make a difference in my students learning by giving the student chances to learn using multisensory activities. Multisensory activities helps students spark that fire in their brains needed to make connections in order to learn how to read and write. The goal for this project is to help my students work on skills independently and have fun doing so.
