Our students will be returning to the building in a few short weeks. While so many are excited, many are nervous to be around so many people for the first time in about a year. I would love to be able to supply each child with their own personal recess bag so they can have fun, talk, and share their creations at recess safely. They will be able to draw and make items that only their hands will touch with your help. Each child would have a pre-packaged drawstring bag with a plastic folder full of colored construction paper and white paper. They would also get a coloring book, a pack of crayons, a mini white board, expo markers, play dough, and play dough cutting toys so they can have fun during their free time safely.
