My Project

The Summer can be a wonderful opportunity for students to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and create projects that they really care about.

The Summer can also be a wonderful opportunity for students to review, read, and prepare themselves for the upcoming school year.

The resources in this project are intended to help my students reach that exact goal.

We know how important it is for early childhood and elementary students to have many opportunities for play, exploration, and hands on learning. One of the best ways to foster a love for learning is to provide meaningful and fun ways for students to learn and grow.

My students will be able to use the playdoh, push pops, and bubbles to explore science ideas, improve their fine motor skills and creativity. My students will be able to use the sand buckets, bubbles, and their sunglasses as they relax on the beach spending quality time with family and friends while engaged in meaningful and thought provoking conversations.

My students will be able to recharge, relax with family and friends, and still work on reading and their fine motor skills with the engaging picture book and wonderfully illustrated coloring books. There's no doubt that they will come back ready for the new school year with a great amount of encouragement and more reading skills under their belts.
