The 20-21 school year comes with a great deal of uncertainty. One thing that is certain is a student’s need for a productive learning environment, even if that environment isn’t in the brick and mortar school building but instead at their kitchen table. Interactive distance learning experiences will be a vital part of this year's instruction. I will read to them daily as we would do in our school building.
Through this project, I will be able to purchase digital learning resources on Teachers Pay Teachers. My students will be given access to interactive study materials, digital games for collaboration, and distance learning centers that they can use from their home computers for all subject areas.
These “virtual school survival kits” will go to every student and will be theirs to keep. Early childhood students benefit greatly from hands-on experiences and the survival kits will enable them to complete math lessons using hands-on manipulatives such as counters and laminated teacher created manipulatives such as hundreds charts and base 10 blocks. They’ll participate in writing assignments and truly engage in their virtual lessons. They will need pencil sharpeners to write at home along with me and whiteboards that double as clipboards to show their answers on our virtual classrooms.
One thing that I realized in the spring when we transitioned to distance learning was the need for additional equipment, like lighting and headsets, to adequately instruct students virtually. These items will ensure all students can hear and see the lessons being presented and will cut down on miscommunications.
