Help me give my students dry erase boards to allow them to be engaged in remote learning and also receive surprise incentive packages in the mail to promote enthusiasm for learning!
My students ROCK! Remote learning is challenging, but it doesn't stop my Kindergarten students. For most of them, this is their first experience with school, and it is just so different from what they or their parents were expecting. Although most of my students face the challenges of living in poverty or single parent households, each of them shows up on ZOOM with a smile on their face and are so excited to learn. Some days, they don't want our sessions to end, so we sing or talk or watch a special video together. My students are at home, away from teachers and friends, and are missing out on the normalcy of school routines. They continue to amaze me each day, with their enthusiasm and willingness to succeed.
My Project
The biggest challenge for remote learning is keeping my students engaged and motivated. The materials and supplies I am requesting will help meet each of those challenges. I will use dry erase boards daily for phonics, writing, and math practice. I hope to help my students be active learners and this will allow me to model and assist my students.
Engaged and motivated students make learning fun and easy.
We currently use Class DoJo points to earn prizes for good work and participation. They love to receive mail! These rewards will help to encourage them to work hard and earn prizes.
