My Project

Every summer, I send my students home with a summer reading and exploration bag. I want to make sure that my students have things to do that are fun and will allow them to explore and imagine to prevent learning loss during the summer break. I've taken care of some of the educational things, now I want to take care of the fun things.

Doodle boards will allow my students to draw and create great work.

The bubbles will allow my students to laugh, observe and chase bubbles. The sun classes will allow them to be cool in the sun, while protecting their eyes. The fidget spinner bracelet will allow them to dream and focus. The coloring books, notebooks and pencils will allow them to express themselves while they color, draw and design.

Each of these things will allow them to continue to learn, while they have fun. It will give them a break from the intense part of learning, and provide them with the opportunity to explore with their hands and eyes.
