My Students

In my classroom inclusion and community is a huge influence. I like to create a community of scholars that value and respect each other. I have not met my students yet although I know they will need a safe and welcoming environment!

My Project

Back to school will look very different this year! With the little ones its important to have the morning meetings, phonic lessons, etc with carpet time. I will use the tiles to have the students spaced away correctly to enjoy morning meeting, phonics lessons, lessons on weather, seasons, ABC's, Class meetings.

With these square tiles, I can space the children apart, with everyone still being able to be together!

This would help make a difference in my students learning by giving my students the emotional support time they need but, keeping everyone safe! (:
