My Project

I teach first grade at a wonderful school overlooking the Wasatch mountains in Utah. Our kiddos live in a rapidly growing area in a community with over 1000 children.

Like any young child the past couple of years, my students are coming to me with almost half of their life being lived in a pandemic.

The way the students learn, or the support they need, in an ever-changing world, has changed. My project focuses on bringing items in my classroom that will help support social-emotional learning and collaborative teamwork and play.

The Little Spot books will provide me with quality literature to help me talk to my students about feelings and emotions. They will also be a valuable resource when talking about teamwork, friendship, and big feelings. Supporting their learning through the pages of a developmentally appropriate book will help build community in my classroom. The egg game will help me provide learning in a fun and engaging way where students can work in teams. The legos and blocks will be used in the morning when students come in to start their day playing and exploring with peers.
