My Students

Due to the coronavirus my students have been home and unable to interact with their peers and teachers. I would love to send them more interactive materials that can help prepare them for kindergarten in a fun way. I think providing parents with materials that will help their children in a more engaging way will benefit both the child and the parent.

My Project

These materials will allow students to work on activities geared towards helping them enhance their knowledge and skills to prepare for kindergarten. The book bags will allow parents to create experiences using the calendar that is included to keep children on a schedule full of fun learning activities. I love that it gives a guide so parents are not having to guess what they should work on to prep their kids. I think this will be helpful for students and parents and also something I can add more items too.
