My Project
Imagine a classroom where students are confident and active in reading or completing a task at hand. Why? Because they have a special friend attached to their seat or on their arm giving them the confidence to do anything.
It is even better when they can read to a stuffy friend.
These huggers are great because they can be attached to a child's arm, so it leaves little time to be played with.
With time and practice a class can wear these little huggers throughout the day to also complete another activity. If not, they can hug them in the back of their chairs. They can be switched from day to day. For example, one day a child may have a shark, and then the next day, they have another hugger. I can imagine the class giving them names, maybe writing stories about them, giving them personalities.
I just want to create a fun learning experience for my class, while at the same time giving them the confidence they need to do anything.
