My Project

My students will develop their Social Skills by talking with their teddy and children strengthen their social skills by playing with stuffed animals. My students are low-income students who some don't have any plushies to feel comfort from.

Sometimes my students can feel lonely because they are not at school with their friends.

A teddy bear can help them bring a smile of comfort when reading to them at night.

These teddies can be a wonderful way to also encourage students to practice reading A teddy bear can brighten up my students when reading to them. My students are learning to read and they will have their teddy bear to practice their readings at night with them.
