Building, Crocheting, And Reading

My Project

COVID-19 affected everyone, including children. During COVID-19, children missed out on opportunities to interact with each other and show their creativity. Items like the Pixel Art Challenge will allow students to interact with each other, as well as encourage their creativity. Items like the yarn and crochet hooks allow students the opportunity to learn to crochet. This skill helps with fine motor skills and teaches them persistence, grit, and inspires them to create. The novels provide children with stories they can share and the picture books will be used in our daily class meetings where students will learn about character development and diversity.
