Help me give my students Magna Tiles, Log Builders, Crystal Climbers, and a Carry Around Animal Town to support socially distant play and indoor recess.
My students are a group of kindergarteners, ages 5 and 6, in Rhode Island. The students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who is the best kindergarten class?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.
These kids are filled with enthusiasm and love to play and learn.
At this age, my students are like little sponges soaking up every bit of information they see and hear, and I want to provide them with hands-on experiences and help develop their love for learning.
I want my students to have everything they deserve and hope you all can help!
My Project
Kindergarten is a time for students to interact and learn important social skills. Sharing, problem-solving, and conversing are all key skills that are typically practiced throughout the day but heavily during recess and center times.
This year school looks a little different.
Students are still given the opportunity to play but it must be done socially distanced. As winter approaches recess will move indoors and having choices for socially distanced play will be even more important. These materials will allow students to create, imagine, and interact with hands-on materials. They will provide variety and choice too.
