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

Thank you to all of donors choose for this amazing platform and the awesome supporters! We are currently making changes in our After-School program and with those changes comes everyone having to adjust and find what works for both students and teachers. I like to have a fun classroom and learning environment which has our students more interested in learning.

First we learn then, we play!

Fridays are freestyle Fridays which my class is turning into Freestyle Friday Parties! To help with this I have requested party hats, and blowers. We want them to have something great to look forward to each week so we spiced it up. I requested the party favors assortment for sensory, rewarding, of course to help with our parties.

The Montessori busy board, edible candy science kit, girls craft kit, arts and crafts supplies, and Sensory bins are for fun learning. Emotions empathy game, pile up game, and uno and to encourage positive socialization, teamwork, and so many more learning activities just out of a one game.

The tea party set, Tent, dollhouse, and action figure toys are to encourage dramatic play. Princess dresses and capes are to encourage dramatic play and self confidence. The snacks are going to be for a snack bin that I want to introduce to the class that the students will be able to pick out of daily when entering the classroom.
