Having Fun Isn't Hard, When You've Got a TPT Giftcard!
Help me give my students access to the creative and multi-use activities and strategies from Teachers Pay Teachers to continue to motivate and engage them as they grapple with the ongoing challenges that come with remote learning.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am an occupational therapist who works with students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade at a New York City public school. We work and play to develop the foundational skills the students need for participating as fully and independently as possible in their everyday school routines and activities. The skill areas we work on include fine motor, visual motor and perceptual skills, body awareness/motor planning, sensory processing, self-regulation, executive functioning, and life skills.
My students are playful, tenacious, and eager to learn, despite our level of resources.
Having access to a variety of tools and materials (for both in-person and remote learning) will further their ability to achieve their highest levels of engagement in school and beyond!
My Project
While we continue working and learning from home, my students are struggling to remain engaged and creatively challenged on the screens day to day. They often do not have adequate materials within their homes for participating in the activities that we would have worked on in the school building that enable them to build the skills they need for participating in their everyday routines and tasks. Having a diversified collection of digital materials can help ensure that my students can continue to learn and grow despite these circumstances beyond their control.
The variety of resources available on Teachers Pay Teachers allows me to tailor my sessions for each student's individual needs and interests to encourage their continued engagement and growth to achieve their goals even while we remain online.
Teachers Pay Teachers has a wonderfully wide array of activities, and strategy ideas that can be adapted in many different ways for many different students, such as developing visual schedules, practicing fine motor skills for writing, and developing executive functioning skills for problem-solving and planning.
