As we prepare to close off the school year, we continue to adjust to the next change in our educational system: Virtual Summer School. Students coming from low income families face several learning gaps that are often addressed during the school year and during extended learning in summer school. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures beginning mid March, all learning became virtual and this format will continue throughout the summer. Although virtual learning is the safest method to deliver education to our students during these times, I know several of my students don't have the resources they would have if we were still in the classroom. Please help me give my students a book to further develop their literacy skills, and supplies like crayons, scissors, glue sticks, blocks and pencils to continue doing hands on work. Kindergarten students are still very young and are still developing their fine motor skills therefore items like these facilitate hands on learning. At this age, it is also important to engage in unstructured play, so these multipurpose blocks can be used in this manner but also as manipulatives for other fun activities such as counting, addition, subtraction, and grouping. My students have adapted so well during this time that during class team building, we have managed to share about our live's, celebrate birthdays and engage in scavenger hunts all from home through our ZOOM meetings. We hope to continue doing this throughout the summer as well and with fruit snacks to snack on while we chat, it'll be even more fun!
