My Students

I have now been teaching at a Title I school for two years, my students come in so eager to learn and needing a safe, comfortable place with solid structure and routines. What I saw (or didn't see) due to masks being worn, was kids slipping through the day, the week, the year.

They were not able to see my mouth make the sounds of letters and words, they didn't get to see a smiling face as they entered the classroom, just a mask.

They also lost out on that team chemistry that is normally built in kindergarten, we had to keep everything separate. It was rough!

My Project

The biggest missing part of this Covid-19 era has been hands on. With these letter tubs the kids get to feel and engage with objects that will increase their opportunity to learn.

The dramatic kitchen play items will start to build that teamwork mentality that I love to have in my class.

The math boards will again be hands on and a great way for the kids to learn addition and subtraction. The kids need to get back to learning together and using their hands is a great way to start.
