My Students

I have been teaching now for 14 years and just recently made the move to work at a virtual school. Every time I make a child smile I am making their day brighter, which makes me feel good inside. It also breaks my heart that many of them have not had the opportunity to be exposed to the simplest activity due to COVID and learning online. Those days consist of having a special treat for no reason, getting to play a game with their peers, doing a hands-on craft with their teacher, doing an art project, having their own personal materials, and the list goes on.

Many of my students come from families of broken homes, living with grandparents, foster children, single-parent homes, homeless families, or both parents must work.

Many of my families struggle to expose their children just within education. My school is 60% English Language Learners and 85% of the school is low-income. Though our families struggle, they do their best in helping their child by reaching out to the school. We offer help through online resources or materials they can purchase at the store.

My Project

My class is distance learning and it can be hard to send them games to play in helping them practice their kindergarten concepts. In sending pattern blocks, wipe off/write on dice, playing cards, and write on/wipe off spinners will have endless possibilities in games they can play.

“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” – Mr. Rogers

I agree with that quote, when a child plays they are practicing a concept and demonstrating whether they have mastered it or need more help. I know that if my students have these items that I can provide many leveled games for their parents to play with them that meet the needs of their needs.
