Catching Up in Academics, Motor Skills & Social Emotional Development

Help me give my students materials such as cars, fruit stringing beads, trains, train tracks, construction paper, magnetic blocks, craft materials and stroller to help us to learn in academics & develop in social emotional & motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nagato's classroom raised $1,000

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need more help than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic in various areas such as academics, fine motor, gross motor (mobility) and social emotional development.

My students will have a blast developing their skills through play in the following ways: academic (learning about the community helper doctor) fine motor (stringing beads, building with blocks and art activities), social emotional development (learning problem solving skills, how to cope when they don't get to play with something they want such as the train set or bubbles) and gross motor (mobility) (walking with the stroller, pushing the stroller).

My students are a great bunch!
