They also are lacking in social and language skills because of social distancing and lack of opportunity to socialize due to pandemic. They have missed out on peer interaction and language. I am always trying to find new and unique was to help them socialize while enriching what is being taught in my classroom. I have found one way that I can do this is through play centers. Through this more relaxed environment you can see evidences of concepts that are being taught in the more traditional manner, social interaction and language skills. By providing these play centers, students can explore different social setting and use their vocabulary and social skills all while enriching their learning. A child that might find theirselves drawn to a kitchen. In that center a child can use meAsuri that was taught traditional in the classroom as well new vocabulary to interact with others.
