Helping Students to Connect Through Games and Manipulatives

Help me give my students resources which will help to build social skills, bridge learning gaps through collaborative learning opportunities, and create an environment for them to focus while using their computers each day.

My Project

The students in my classroom are creative and love to explore the world around them through science, math, and the arts. After two years with Covid, one of their greatest needs is learning how to interact with one another through learning and play. The resources being requested will help them to develop positive social skills and enable them to learn through collaboration. The learning resources will be used to help bridge the learning gaps that many of the children are facing due to Covid-19 and help to build a renewed sense of confidence towards learning.
