My Students

What I love about my students is that they can go with the flow without thinking about it first. It seems as though the COVID-19 pandemic has no effect on them at all. They are all excited to come to class with their masks and discuss their masks in great detail.

My students are special because they find sunshine in the darkest days.

They are willing to try anything that we put in front of them without questioning it, and they always come to school with a smile on their face, ready to take on the day.

My Project

Our classroom is in dire need of centers that build on my students' imagination. They are all so creative but have limited resources to act upon their imagination. I am asking for help in hard times like this to give my students something to believe in and forget that we are in a time where playing together can seem dangerous.

I am asking for help and support for items such as blocks, gears, and play animal sets, so my class can engage in play with their friends even if it is 6 feet apart from one another.

Thank you for your contribution to imagination.
