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

Personal hygiene is always an important topic to cover with students. When students begin to play sports, become more active, and approach puberty, personal hygiene needs to be a part of their daily routine.

My fourth graders are beginning to learn the importance of personal hygiene and why it should be a part of their daily self-care routine.

By providing my 4th graders with the necessities of personal hygiene they can begin to put into practice what they have learned in health class.

These students would appreciate being provided with their own self-care package of personal hygiene products.
