Remote Learning Resources

Help me give my students more opportunities to learn remotely by using My Big World. This is a resource we can use digitally and for parents to use at home.

My Students

I teach 2 half-day, PreK classes having up to 20 children in each class, however, due to COVID-19 our students are currently being taught remotely. The children vary in ages from 3-5 years old. Each child qualified based on individual at-risk factors. Many of our children enter the program with big feelings which present as behaviors. I am passionate about giving young children the experiences and materials they need to be successful in and out of the classroom.

We are a developmentally appropriate classroom teaching children social-emotional, academic, and motor skills by using hands-on activities.

These are amazing intelligent kids, and I love to see the excitement in their eyes every day!

My Project

My Big World would be an amazing addition to my remote learning tool box. Trying to keep preschoolers engaged remotely isn't easy, however, this would be something special we could add to our week! It is also something that can be extended to at home learning with the families. It is a guided lesson with amazing pictures, text and games for the family!!

This gift would make remote learning special for our students and bring topics to life by using My Big World.

The paper copy we could send home with their learning packets that parents pick up.
