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

I am requesting a children's book to teach lessons on kindness and compassion. Children learn through play, experiences of others, and from book characters. I have carefully chosen books with characters who look like my students and share similar feelings as them. I have also chosen books with animal characters with feelings relatable to my students. These books will allow for conversations pertaining to the well-being of my students and how we as a class can work together to help one another just as characters being read about. My students will make text-to-self connections as well as text-to-text connections. The kindness rocks and activity book will be used as a means of measuring the understanding of how to show and accept both kindness and compassion to and from others.

These activities can and will be done together which will gives the opportunites to share ideas and school supplies.

Collaboration is key when showing kindness to others.

The bookshelf will help the students learn how to be kind to books by properly storing them. This will allow other students and classes to have access to books that are kept in tact year after year as kindness is being spread.
