Due to COVID 19, these past few years have taken a toll on our students' academic and social skills. We have such a variety of students in terms of what type of education they had prior to walking into our classroom. A handful of students may have been virtual for the past year; Some may have gone to a different school; Some may have been in a hybrid type setting. We have a unique group in our classroom now and the years to come. These students lack foundational skills that will hinder them for the rest of their schooling and/or the social skills of being in a school setting. Although we do our best face-to-face, we also still have the uncertainty of being quarantined at any random time throughout the year. It makes our time in the classroom THAT much more critical. We can all agree that we as educators have a greater responsibility, now more than ever, to bridge gaps and make meaningful connections with the skills we focus on each week. I think these Ready-To-Go centers would be a tremendous help both as a teacher and as a student. For the student, they are skill-focused, easy to use, and encourage independent learning. For the teacher, they are easily accessible, well-organized, and well, ready to go. This allows time for me to be able to work one-on-one, pull for inventions or small groups at my table.
