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.

I teach Kindergarten in an urban charter school. Many of the students come from underprivileged homes in impoverished neighborhoods. And though they struggle, these children really seem driven to learn and motivated to rise to any challenge.

I have 21 wonder five and six year olds. They thrive on hands-on activities that encourage learning. Recently our school adopted a nutrition curriculum to encourage students to make better food choices. For Kindergarteners it's difficult to encourage them to explore different meal options using coloring sheets and the occasional taste test. Many students do not eat breakfast before coming to school or stop to get chips and a soda from the corner store. I feel that building lessons and a center related to healthy eating will motivate the children to start thinking about what foods they put in their bodies early on in life.

I have a small, used wooden kitchen and table for the students to use in class. However, I would like them to experiment with making menus, creating balanced meals, and taking a look at healthy foods. The pretend food items and dish set will allow these wonderful students the chance to essentially put their nutrition lessons to use. In addition, I will be able to incorporate these items into math and writing lessons, as well as, read aloud storytime.

It seems like such a simple thing, pretend food, but for children who aren't used to having much in the way of supplies I know they would be grateful. I would love for them to take away lessons that will last a lifetime. To not only develop their minds, but to give them eating habits that will help them develop healthy lifestyles. Each and every child is so special to me and I would like them to have the best future possible. I believe that helping them to think independently about their eating will not only encourage them to lead healthier lifestyles, but to have the mindset and courage to make other important life decisions wisely.
