My Students

Currently my Pre-K ESE classroom is being run online through distance learning while the state of Florida has closed schools indefinitely. We know that the remainder of the school year will be based online through Zoom circle times, 1:1 sessions with families and therapists, and providing hands-on learning materials so we do not miss a step from where we left off before COVID-19 took control. The last date the students were in school was March 12, 2020.

I have been making up learning packets for two weeks at a time of worksheets, activity materials, crafts, and books to help give the students materials in their hands.

I personally am funding this and hand-delivering (all with families' consent and practicing social distancing guidelines - dropping at doorsteps/mailboxes). The use of Google Classroom is more for the parents and has been a struggle for the students who are used to hands-on materials and not able to navigate a laptop/Chromebook.

My Project

My students and I are continuing to participate in learning activities together through google classroom and Zoom circle times during this time of COVID-19 distance learning. My students have shown a tremendous amount of resilience through this scary time in history. These materials will help be able to reinforce the activities I show them and they will be able to do with me and also when they are working independently at home.

Learning with hands-on materials is crucial for younger learners, which is why play is essential for learning math concepts.

When students are using bear counters and unifix cubes to practice number, color, quantity, and patterning concepts, these lessons will stick in their memory and be activities they want to continue pursuing so that when they learn addition and subtraction, they are ready with a core foundation of math. Playdough is essential for learning math concepts as well since it can be used in endless ways to make shapes, counters, measurement, weight, and size.
