My students deserve an inspiring learning enviroment that allows for differentiation, safety and security, and the opportunity to be challenged and to learn from mistakes. With so much emphasis on test scores and other assessment data it is easy to begin swimming in data rather than putting those facts and figures to work for student success.
Long distance learning is presenting educators with challenges never seen before seen or imagined.
As we go through these uncharted waters, we must develop creative, engaging, long distance lessons and resources for Pre K through high school. What a daunting challenge!
I love the passion and dedication my Kindergarten students bring to school each and every day. They simply LOVE LEARNING! Children taught to believe they CAN...WILL succeed!
I also realize that our new normal is forcing parents to home school their children which is creating its own anxiety and uncertainty. These unique children are our FUTURE and as an educator it is my greatest pleasure to see them grow both roots and wings!
My Project
Our new normal of long distance learning presented a challenge to me as an educator to be able to continue to help my Kindergarteners learn to read. Since sight words are an essential prerequisite for learning to read, I needed to find a creative and unique way to have all of our sight words in front of my students each and every day. As more of our children are using devices and watching educational TV programs, it hit me that they are also sitting, leaning, or laying on pillows.
No more lost sight word lists for my Kindergarteners!
What a perfect combination of sight word exposure and comfy pillows! I want to write our beginning 25 sight words on the front of each pillowcase and the remaining 50 sight words on the back of each pillowcase using bright, colorful permanent fabric markers. All 75 kindergarten words in one happy place - on a personalized pillowcase!
