My second graders have not experienced a school year yet that has not been impacted by the distress of a global pandemic. When they were in kindergarten in 2020, their school year was cut three months short due to COVID-19 destroying all that we knew to be normal, and causing them to miss out on vital instruction that was still laying the foundation for their academic success. Concepts that lay the ground work for reading and math like alphabetic knowledge and number sense were not given their due time. The following year, my students bounced back and forth from in-person instruction to distance learning at varying degrees, some of them not to step back foot into a classroom until this year. Here we are in 2022, and some of my students still have not caught up on their kindergarten concepts. Teachers like me are trying their best to play catch up and fill in the holes of these missing gaps of knowledge. Seeing the majority of my class entering second grade without having the skills that they should, the effects of the pandemic on learning are very evident. I have carefully chosen these materials as aids to learning for me and my students. Focusing in on literacy and math, these materials will help supplement my teaching and engaging my students in learning the content. Included are phonics and math games that will help reinforce knowledge and practice skills in engaging ways. There are also visual materials like a magnetic regrouping chart and a word families flip book and that will help me present content in clear and easy-to-understand ways. I also have included math manipulatives to supplement learning in a hands-on way. Similarly, I have included physical alphabet tiles to use in small group interventions for reading and phonics.
