My students are incredible four year olds who along with their families have been attending school on a blended schedule model. Most of the families we service come from low socioeconomic status and the epidemic has really put a dent in their budget. Our classroom has been fully remote several times this school year due to covid-19 but every time we reopen our doors our families are waiting with their children. My students have been through a lot already at four years old and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to show them the light in this tunnel.
My students are strong and resilient learners who amidst all the epidemic challenges are striving with their heads held up.
The chaos outside our classroom in the world at large stays a bay, outside our classroom door. Inside the classroom we are laughing, celebrating, and collaborating together along our learning path. I try my very hardest to show my students the joy in learning by tapping into their curiosities and creating lessons reflective of their interests.
Our classroom is a warm and happy place where everyone is welcomed!
My Project
These materials will make an enourmous difference in my student's learning. Children at four years old are still learning to communicate with others and one of the best strategies for allowing this learning to happen is through using visuals. In my classroom we have a visual for everything from labels to vocabulary word to thematic board games. Our current printer is out of ink and we are unable to provide any visual for our students.
A printer supports the learning which occurs at home since we often provide materials for students to use while learning remotely.
We provide our students with games and activities to use at home by printing the materials for them. For instance, during our unit of All About Us, we learned about our family members, each student picked and printed a play-doh mat to create a family member while learning remotely. This project will help us to continue providing our students and families with more remote activities.
