Distance Learning for Kinders

Help me give my students supplies to practice printing numbers, letters and sight words. Help my kinders write to me during distance learning.

My Students

Learning materials to keep our skills awake and growing are truly needed. These simple supplies will allow me to mail activity and workbooks to my kinders just for this need. Postage and envelopes will let me connect with my students during this pandemic.

My Project

This distance learning idea has many gaps. So many of my children are struggling with handwriting and printing of numerals. They need supplies to practice and strengthen these skills.

Even when in class, handwriting is a big focus.

My kinders need support that is fun, directed and colorful. These simple supplies will help us bridge this massively big gap. These supplies will give my kinders a way to show me their responses during Google Meets. That is a hole in what we can do now.

With these supplies, my kinders will be more ready for first grade in the fall. These supplies will support our growth in all academic areas.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
