During COVID, we have been between school and home. We work very hard to make our preschool classroom visually exciting. Have you ever wondered why preschool classrooms are decorated the way they are? Fun colors and large-print numbers, letters, shapes, and pictures are visually motivating and keep the attention of young learners. For preschoolers, these types of materials are more developmentally appropriate than black and white text. Also, I teach students with special needs. I like to differentiate materials to match their level of learning. When learning must take place at home, children may not have exposure to materials that are developmentally appropriate or appropriately diversified. Although we send home color PDFs of the printable materials, not every family has color printers at home or will take the time to cut and compile the materials. As we meet virtually, I have developmentally appropriate materials in front of me, and I can show children the materials, however, they lose interest when they cannot handle the materials themselves. To mitigate these challenges, I would like to make learning kits that include developmentally appropriate materials that children can use at home. They will include activities for building skills in reading, writing, matching, sorting, sequencing, vocabulary growth, social-emotional, hypothesizing, discovering, and many more. The kits will be checked-in, sanitized, and then checked-out to a different child. The building of the kits will be done by myself and 4 other preschool teachers. We hoped for 5 printers, however, to stay within budget, two will do the printing, and everyone can help with the laminating. We are excited for the opportunity to do this project. We feel that it will enhance at-home learning for many preschoolers.
