"Early childhood education should be child-initiated, child-directed, play-based, and hands-on learning which sets the stage for dynamic interpersonal interactions with peers and teachers." The hands-on math learning centers in my project will allow my students to engage in child-directed learning and play on a daily basis in my classroom. Without these math manipulatives, games and learning centers my students will be left with minimal hands-on learning opportunities and will primarily practice their skills with pencil and paper which is not ideal or age-appropriate for first grade. The math activities, games, and centers in my project will reinforce our first grade math standards and make the most of every day that we have together during this pivotal and hopefully continued time of in-person instruction. The instructional materials will also be used during small groups to meet the varied needs of my students. My project not only meets their mathematical needs, but also meets their social and emotional needs as well. “Unprecedented long-term closure of schools and suspension of face-to-face teaching during the COVID-19 crisis surely has reduced opportunities to learn for students, particularly those of young children. In terms of social-emotional development, most children have lost the equivalent of a year or more of interaction with peers in group setting.” My project aims to help mitigate these losses by allowing the students to work in a math workshop type model where they interact and learn how to properly socialize with peers, work in a group, wait their turn, follow the game rules, etc... My project let them learn and grow in every way!
