The students in my class love to play and learning through play is vital for young minds to grow at their full potential. The sports equipment is for them to move, play with others, and learn to follow game rules.
I made hand drums with my students last year and they really loved making the instrument, playing it, as well as taking it home to show what they made, so the rain stick kit will be good for their building skills, following directions, and learning about the instrument.
The socioemotional books, liquid bubble calm down tool, and breathing tool will be important for the students because we all need tools to help us control our negative emotions and learn to breathe with intent.
I love to teach science and watch the students see the science projects unfold in front of them. Inquiry-based science lessons are incredibly important for the students to absorb the cause and effect of the projects/thesis/observations. Hands-on science kits will be a joy for the students to learn and analyze science from.
More than half of students from low‑income households
