COVID-19 has demonstrated that our students learn best through hands-on learning. We have seen so many delays in social-emotional and academic skills from students being isolated and having to learn solely from a 2 dimensional computer screen. Learning activities that can capture their attention in a multi-sensory way are the best way to create meaningful learning opportunities. In our cart we have items like the social-emotional face builders that help students understand emotions so they can develop better self-awareness to communicate their wants and needs. We also have an array of math and alphabet manipulatives that get their brains and bodies working together to help them catch up to the delay in skills experienced through the pandemic. Some items include a light table and fishing for letters, fly swatting numbers to solidify those academics in a way that is fun and engaging. We also have a few crafting and supply items in our cart such as batteries to power our timers which are paramount for managing behaviors and transitions in a sped preschool room. We also have disinfectant wipes to keep all our students happy, healthy and germ free in this post COVID environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
