The most important tool for at-home learning is the document camera, which will allow me to teach my students who are in distance learning. They each have an IEP and need as much support as I can give them. Many of my students are showing distance learning-related losses in their basic math and reading skills. The math posters and flash cards are to support them in building their math skills and working on assignments from their math classes. The Shashibo Cube and Tenzi dice will provide for fun brain breaks while still using math skills. The chapter books are all specifically chosen because they are high-low books--high content, low reading level. The rest of the items will be used to improve my students' social emotional wellness and increase their engagement with school and their peers. The AeroGardens will be a staple of my classroom throughout the year. The students will be given responsibility for the plants, including checking on the water and nutrients and trimming them as they grow. In addition to learning about the basic needs of all living things, we will relate this to self-care, patience while working toward a goal, the power of nature, and more. The yoga ball and feety bands are to support my kinesthetic learners in their need to move while working. The diffuser and oils are aromatherapy tools that assist in calmness. The posters support social-emotional learning. The timers will encourage my students to pace themselves in their work. The blank cards are for building letter-writing and communication skills. The Clorox wipes are for cleaning the headphones and other materials. The granola bars are for brain breaks. The stickers and pencils will be incentives for our school's positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) system.
