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

Hello! I would love and greatly a mailbox center with trays to provide my students with daily opportunities to share with their families their academic, social, and /or personal development from their day at school. This will promote student organizational skills, foster a sense of community, support student responsibility, facilitate student and family communication, and provides preparation for real-world skills.

A mailbox center will promote student organizational skills by having a designated place for distributing and receiving papers.

This helps students learn how to manage their materials efficiently.

A mailbox center will encourages a sense of belonging and community within the classroom. Students will be able to use the center to deliver positive drawings/notes. Consequently, strengthening peer relationships and creating a supportive classroom atmosphere.

A mailbox center will create individual responsibility. Each student will have the daily responsibility of checking and delivering their mail.

A mailbox center serves as an efficient communication tool from school. This ensures that families receive information promptly and consistently.

A mailbox center serves as a real-world skill that students will use in their adult lives. It introduces them to the concept of correspondence and the importance of timely communication.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of donating to a project that will enhance academic, social development, and personal growth of kindergarten students.
