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 comprised of eight pre-kindergarten boys and eight girls, totaling sixteen students in all. Their ages range from 3 to 5 years old. They are inner-city urban youth who mostly come from single-parent low-income backgrounds.
Should you bless our students with your support they will be able to use their imaginations to create projects that are whimsical and unique!
As an educator of 36 years, I am in awe of their creativity. Using these "hands-on" materials (Magna-Tiles, play-dough, etc.) will bring the young artist great joy and a sense of accomplishment that will enable them to have confidence and a great sense of self.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
