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 Pre-K - 2nd students have library time every week. Library for students this age can't be just sitting and reading books for 45 minutes! Instead I use this time to read stories and get them excited about words and reading.
Hands on activities are always a big hit with them, especially the extra wiggly ones!The magnetic letters and boards will give them a fun way to practice everything from their names to vocabulary from story time.
The tangrams and shapes help them learn critical thinking, shape and pattern recognition, which are also key skills for reading.
These materials will give them a chance to do something active and fun that also reinforces key skills later. It's another way to make them look forward to library time and to learning to read.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
