My Students

My second graders are voracious readers! They love to read both fiction and nonfiction books. Their favorite characters include Pete the Cat, Fly Guy, Piggie and Elephant, and Mercy Watson. They also love to read about insects, space, and plants. My students are hungry bookworms! They are eager to learn and read about the world around them. My class is made up of general education students, children with special needs, and English as new language students. My students love to be at school and are like little sponges, absorbing everything around them.

Unfortunately, these opportunities in the classroom have all but disappeared during remote instruction.

Families are struggling to provide access to online materials while balancing their own work and mental health. The effort and love being put forth by the children and families is heartwarming. We all miss each other and miss going to our school. My second graders are working hard alongside their families and teachers as we try to navigate this unknown world of distance learning.

My Project

Distance learning has been challenging for both parents and students. It becomes even more difficult when students do not have supplies at home. My second graders are some of the hardest workers in distance learning. Despite the challenges they face, they have made improvement in reading, writing, and mathematics this school year.

My students need art supplies and educational materials at home to continue their ability to learn while not in the school building.

This project will provide materials for my second graders to be creative, expressive, and imaginative. Kinetic sand provides a range of sensory experiences for children. Not only is kinetic sand beneficial in supporting the development of fine motor skills, it is also a calming and relaxing activity for children to engage in. The Eric Carle activity book is based on his fiction books and will allow students to re-visit their favorite scenes from the stories. Students can color and add their own creative touches to the art of Eric Carle. The stuffed animals will provide students with a soft and cuddly buddy to read to and share their ideas with during reading workshop. The stress balls and joke books will help students to relax and be calm.

Your donations to this project will ensure my students will have the supplies they need to be successful with distance learning. This pandemic is hard on everybody, but students in low-income homes truly do not have the resources to keep up. Both students and parents will be so appreciative and surprised to get these materials. Please join me in putting a smile on their eager faces!
