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 excitable, loving 3-year-olds. They live in a high-poverty and transient military area. Our public prekindergarten program is specifically designed and funded for children who are at risk and our school's mascot is a whale.

My students will love to pretend to be whales in the ocean by having a bubble day to go along with our sand/ocean curriculum study and the whale bubble machines and batteries will make it a "whaley" wonderful day!

I think it is important for our mental health to celebrate all of their hard work on the unit and how much each of them has grown this year.
