My Project

Covid-19 has made students more reclusive. They are struggling to connect with each other. Especially here in Hawaii were we are so isolated already it is important for students to feel connected. I want to create this in my classroom with crafts, activities and incentives so students feel that they want to come to school and that they are a part of the classroom. We will make tie dye tee shirts together and bracelets. Students will get incentives for work completion and snacks when they are hungry. Students will feel love and support.
