In my classroom I have access to my document camera that is essential when teaching kinder students. It is easier for the students to focus and follow along with the lesson without having to turn my back to write on the board. This is why during distance learning I am requesting a document camera so that my students get the same experience as if we were on campus. A hundreds chart is another item essential in teaching the numbers and counting to my students. This chart will be visible to all students and can be used as we count read and write our numbers. The one in my classroom is not visible enough for distance learning. I hope to make the best of distance learning and build a community with my students. I want my students to feel as if we were at school and I know that these items will be very useful for my students and for my teaching. Kinder is the foundation and needs to be a memorable experience.
