My students this year are active and eager to learn! Due to the pandemic, many spent their preschool time mostly in isolation, missing out on crucial social interaction with peers. They also had a shortened school day in kindergarten--if they attended at all.
While they are doing fairly well academically, many are behind socially and emotionally, and lack developed fine motor skills.
They are such a kind, compassionate group of children. It's a privilege to be their teacher!
My Project
The requested Bob books will be used daily during class literacy time. They are decodable phonics-based books and will help to fill the gap in students' early reading skills due to COVID-19 and make learning to read fun.
Many of the requested materials and activities will be used for hands-on learning in science, math, and literacy.
My students really do best with active learning and practice. I want to provide my students with opportunities to build their social and emotional skills through interactive play and hands-on activities during the school day.
