My Students

Our class family is comprised of 24 students who are six and seven years old, from a variety of backgrounds in Edmond, OK. My students are hard workers who are in need of building social and emotional skills. My school strives to meet all the needs of each one of these students. One way that we plan to do this, is through play.

This is the first year for our district to encourage purposeful play in first grade, due to the great need of this type of learning.

My students are early childhood students who very much thrive on play. Play can deepen their academic learning as well as improve their level of connection with their friends and teacher through development of social and emotional skills. The pandemic has greatly increased the need to meet my students where they are with social and emotional learning.

My Project

Students can apply things that they have learned through play as well as discover new ideas! In our imagination, art, construction, and sensory/discovery centers, students will collectively decide on topics to play, build, and create that are related to our learning and standards.

They are empowered with choice and practice many social and emotional skills.

Their teacher questions them to show their knowledge and understanding of topics but also coaches them during this time to improve social and emotional skills.

Students demonstrate many skills using these materials, as well as practice skills that need continued growth. As students build, create, design, and feel, they will be developing lifelong skills.
