Young children learn best through play, and it is my responsibility to teach them how to do that. My students participate in learning activities with excitement and energy. I love hearing the sounds of children learning in my classroom: a gasp of amazement, the conversation between two students about a book, the giggles and car sounds from the block center! My 40 pre-k students come from a variety of backgrounds, some have learning materials at home, while many do not.
How can I support great learning at home for my students?!
This past year was a very difficult time for students and their families, especially at the pre-k level. It was imperative to provide hand-on, engaging, developmentally appropriate activities to my students to continue their learning at home while on a remote basis. My students, and their families, excelled beyond my expectations!
My Project
One great thing that came from teaching remote learning is the simple and fun activities my assistant and I created to send home. I had no idea that those activities could make such a huge impact in my students' lives! I want to continue sending activities and materials every week, to support our families in continuing their child's learning at home!
Just imagine all the great learning that will take place this way!
My students will be able to duplicate activities and lessons, taught during small groups, at home with adult help. Whether it will be building STEM snowmen, counting buttons on a character's shirt, drawing and writing in journals, sorting bears by color, or creating weather charts, my students will learn so much! Hands-on learning through play is the best way for pre-k children to learn, and you can help purchase the materials needed for this project!
