My Students

Help my students feel together again. My students have been out of school for 6 months, in one week they get to return to school grounds and enjoy each other's company (in a safe and sanitary way). I have a diverse group of students that are excited to get back to school and participate and grow together.

My Project

Socio-emotional development is crucially important for children in their primary levels of learning. My students will be returning to school in one week to begin our hybrid learning phase, after 6 months of not engaging with and seeing their peers in a school setting. I will be having six students in my class at a time, and I wish to safely provide the best feeling of normalcy and provide an environment that nurtures community and togetherness in a challenging time.

The classroom carpet will help me to provide a comfortable place that promotes socialization, community, and collaboration through my Interactive Read Alouds, delivery of group instruction, Morning Meetings, and much more.
