My Project

I am a Special Education teacher working with students in grades Kindergarten through 3rd. Most of the students I teach are working on skills that most students learn in Kindergarten, but most of my students have never been in a normal year of school nor have they had school years without having to do some learning online.

My students are missing skills such as letter sounds, cvc word blending, and even as far as reading at their age level because they have had to do schooling through the COVID-19 world.

They missed out on whole group alphabet games in Kindergarten. They missed out on building reading skills by partner reading or reading groups because they couldn't sit near their peers in class. They missed out on basic phonics skills because it was either trying to be taught to them through a tiny zoom camera with expectations of sitting on mute while having to listen at the age of 6, or it was taught to them through a mask and they could not differentiate between letter sounds. They are missing the skills you learn by listening, observing and experiencing through months of normal schooling.

My kids have also missed out on building basic social and emotional skills you learn your first few years of school. They are missing the skills such as taking turns, accepting the feeling when you get the wrong answer or something as simple as asking a friend to play on the playground. A lot of my students only know a school year full of masks, sitting by the same 2 people in class, specials and at lunch, and not knowing what to do or how to function in a school classroom. My students are having to learn a lot of these skills now and next year.
