My Project

COVID-19 has impacted my students by in many different ways, socially and academically have been a struggle. While we transitioned back into the classroom, most of my students were behind, learning how to take turns with classmates and learning sight words.

COVID-19 has caused so much fear in their little eyes, my classroom is their safe place.

My classroom is their second home, a place they can explore their creativity in the comfort of flexible seating, different light features and activities. All of these resources can help them build the social skills they need to be successful, well be comfortable!
