My Project

Our students were impacted in many ways during COVID. Many of our students stayed home and when they were in school they were socially distanced from their peers, impacting their social-emotional growth.

Our students need hands-on experiences.

They need to learn with their whole bodies and they need to learn how to appropriately interact and solve problems with their peers. What better way to help my students than give them the gift of play and hands-on learning.

Through this project, my students will learn things like sharing, working together, and how to be problem solvers!
