Funded Apr 12, 2021Thank you so much for your generous classroom donations. My students have enjoyed learning, imagining and playing with their "new" toys immensely. My students are using them in their individual "centers" and their individual "office" spaces as we continue to follow social distance protocol in classrooms.
My students reactions to new material was similar to Christmas morning opening a present. They can hardly wait to play with it. Naturally, I read the instructions on ways to play with the new toys and then as kids are natural builders, math math experts, and problem solvers, they organically used the material to create and imagine their own ideas and activities.
The next steps for my students is to provide a kindergarten readiness approach using a few ideas directly from a kindergarten teacher on how best to help transition students ALL while understanding they are indeed still preschoolers and learn and create at their own pace. I would also like to create a new project that is supply based and air on the side of caution with regards to the real possibility of Virtual Learning. The supply list alone to provide a classroom of 15 with the tools and material they needed at home to learn virtual was taxing.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Regina
