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

These items will help in my BSP (Behavioral Support Class) as my students have severe emotional disabilities. Anything they can use to calm down, refocus or to release any stress or anxieties will beneficial to them being able to effectively manage their emotions and return to or have some sense of normalcy. I love all of my students. My students are bright, smart and loving but need help with their behaviors.

Something as simple as a bean bag chair can make a child feel safe and comforted.

This is why having these items in my classroom are so important.
