My Project

Some of my students may have had Transitional Kindergarten or attended preschool but did not get to finish due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I would like to be able to provide my students with needed materials to use at home until we can safely return to the classroom.

In my class for teaching math, hands-on is the way to go.

Whether teaching in the classroom or remotely, one thing is for certain and that is the need for hands-on materials. With these materials, I will be able to model the math skills we are working on so that the students can follow along using their own tools.
