In my social studies and reading lessons leading up to the winter holiday break, my kindergarten students and I will be reading stories about how Winter Holidays are celebrated around the world. This learning bag will provide them with a unique opportunity to use their senses to experience some of the small joys of the holidays that many often take for granted. It will also allow them to engage in our subsequent lessons on a deeper level by building the necessary background knowledge that they will need. Similarly, this activity bag will serve as a culminating activity for some of our social-emotional and health lessons as it relates to COVID-19. As we have heard from various medical experts in the news, children are being significantly impacted given the lack of social engagement since the onset of this awful pandemic. Mailing these learning kits to students, I believe would help to reduce the risk of childhood depression in my kindergarteners who have already experienced so much trauma and disappointment at such a young age.
