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 wonderful children who unfortunately missed a lot of the typical social-emotional development due to quarantine. The years of playing together and learning to self-regulate in school were missed through no fault of their own.

These toys that we use every morning allow me to help the students navigate social dilemmas and learn important lessons like turn taking, patience and sharing.

We use morning bins every day in order to develop fine motor skills, engage our STEAM brains and to hone our social-emotional intelligence. And occasionally we even get to play with them later in the day too!
