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

What I love about my students is they are unique and quick learners who enjoy coming to school each day. Unfortunately there are times when they come to school feeling emotions they do not understand or know how to deal with.

The materials for Calming Corner will help understand emotional behaviors, such as being able to identify feelings by looking at visuals, exploring sensory objects, and books.

The materials for art area will allow them to create projects to help express their feelings and the gift card will allow me to create additional materials for them to use.
