My first graders have been through a lot! Their year in Kindergarten was far from "normal." Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they started the year off 100% remote, then some transitioned to the hybrid model, and finally in May, most returned fully in person. However, some remained remote for the entire school year.
My students come from a variety of different backgrounds.
They are 6 and 7 years old, some speak a language other than English, and many benefit from the free breakfast and lunch that our school provides.
My students are hardworking, kind, and a fun group to work with!
My Project
The materials in this project will help my students in so many ways. The board games will allow them to play with their peers during Free Friday, one of their favorite times of the week. The crayons and scissors will help them to complete daily cut and paste activities, as well as their daily writing.
The math manipulatives will help them to solve all of their math problems, while getting to choose which strategy works best for them.
I believe that when math becomes hands on, students understand it better and therefore, get the correct answers.
Finally, the TPT gift card will allow me to purchase high quality materials, such as write the room, various writing projects, math games, and so much more!
