What Are Breath Bags? T he Breath Bag is a culturally relevant tool that introduces preschool through sixth grade students age appropriate content area activities in science, social studies, math, art/creative expression, reading, identity development and goal setting. Breath Bag activities are fun and informative ways to “share and prepare” students for school through the use of culturally relevant learning experiences at home, school and in the community. Each backpack is designed to promote positive self-esteem and experiences that help model school success. The bags also help bridge the technology divide that exists by utilizing traditional modes of teaching and learning. The activities/content areas align with the common core state standards. They can be used to provide educational assistance, personal enrichment, summer programming, after-school programming, parenting and mental health support. Each year, at our annual Black History Education Conference, two children are crowned and awarded over$250.00 of literacy and other culturally relevant educational prizes for their participation and demonstrated family engagement with the Breath Bag Program.
