I have 18 amazing students who I miss so very much. They are all from unique families and their daily routines each look so very much different.
Seeing their smiling faces via Google Meet and in picture texts from their parents has been some of my favorite moments from each week.
In third grade, we have sent students both paper and digital packets to continue their learning during this time. I check in daily with our students on a learning platform and it is amazing to see their faces via video.
We have been blessed because many students are able to complete their work via our digital platform using school Chromebooks. There are students that do not have access to the internet though and they are completing their work via paper. I make weekly phone calls to all students and check in to see how they are feeling and what they're up to.
Many of my students have parents that are working out of the home at some point during the day. I would like to create a project for them to have fun and engaging resources to grow, play, and learn all day.
My Project
The chalk and bubbles are for outdoor play. It is important for them to be active and get outside. It will be great to be creative at home.
The notecards and postage will help all students be able to write back and forth with me.
I have a wall of letters from my students and I want to make sure they continue to be able to send these letters.
The Pentominoes and tangrams will be great puzzles and also align with what we are learning in math. These lessons have been some of my students' favorite ones.
The card stock and Smencils will bring parts of our classroom to their home. The headphones will allow them to work on their digital tools while others are also working at home.
