Help me give my students things to play with during cooperative play to enhance their imagination and social skills. We also need iPad covers so they can go home safely when students are excluded due to COVID-19.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are 5-year old children who have never experienced a "normal" school year. They have limited social interactions due to the pandemic. They have to do distance learning when they get excluded from school due to COVID-19. We are a title 1 school so we have a lower SES and this will bring technology into their lives that they may not have to opportunity to use at home.
My Project
The iPad cover will allow me to send the iPads home with students when they are excluded and need to be on distance learning. It will enhance their technology skills and further their 21st century learning. They will be able to do all their academic school work on these meeting all standards by using SeeSaw, Microsoft Teams, RAZ-Kids, Dreambox, Starfall and other learning apps. (21st century skills - Use of technology and digital citizenship)
The dolls and playhouse will encourage social skills when students have not had much interaction with other people during this pandemic.
I want to normalize disabilities and make all students feel included in my classroom by seeing themselves represented in dolls with disabilities and accommodations in the room. This also included dolls of many skill colors and ethnicities. Students have opportunities each day to work cooperatively in groups to foster social skills, problem solve, and develop through play. They can imagine if their doll isn't able to hear well, they can give them hearing aides. If their doll can't walk they can use the wheelchair or arm braces. If their doll is blind, they can use the seeing eye dog and white cane. This will help to normalize disabilities and make students with disabilities included. When students play together in the dollhouse, they can learn life skills about homes and how to take care of yourself and others. They will have multi-cultural options of dollhouse people to see their skin colors represented.
