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 have worked very hard this year. Summertime is just around the corner and I would love to provide my students with some extra fun hands-on activities and supplies that they can use over the summer to continue their learning and development. Bubbles and sand toys will encourage outdoor play. Play-Doh will help with fine motor development. Puppets will encourage their imaginative play to develop.

Children should be encouraged to play outdoors and have fun while continuing to develop skills.

The bags provide a cool way to take all of their new treasures home.
