My Project
COVID has definitely impacted how children interact with each other. I see this in the children in my prekindergarten class, as well as the K-5 children I serve in our after-school program. They appear to have been COVID conditioned to play alone or lack the interpersonal skills needed to play cooperatively. Much of this can be attributed to “screen time” reaching new heights during the COVID pandemic. Now that restrictions are being eased and children can freely interact with each other, they need open-ended materials that encourage well-being, social interaction, cooperation, and learning.
Play is joyful learning!
Through play, young children learn across all domains – social, cognitive, physical, health/well-being, language, and academics. Open-ended play encourages higher-order thinking skills and productive struggle. I am seeking materials that will encourage cooperative learning through play. The digital microscope, flashcards, and math manipulatives, as well as the other items are materials that promote child-driven exploration and cooperation. I am also seeking materials that encourage children to promote their well-being by recognizing their own well being through a mirrored lens. Lend your helping hand to fight the consequences of COVID! Make learning joyful again!
