My Students

Our school serves a diverse group of students between the ages of 2 to 5 years old. At least 80% of our families come from low-income and multicultural households. Our student population includes typically-developing children, as well as children with special needs.

Our students are unique individuals who continue to demonstrate admirable resilience, despite the hardships that they are experiencing throughout this pandemic.

My Project

Since March 2020, I have been teaching my preschool special education students virtually and parents have shared that their children are either regressing to previous challenging behaviors or developing new challenging behaviors. At a time when adults are barely coping with the stress of a global pandemic, how much more are our young children struggling to deal with in their upended lives?

Children learn best through concrete examples with visual support.

These books offer a glimpse of how children deal with stress and provide specific strategies to cope with these challenges. This pandemic has wreaked havoc on the social-emotional development of our young learners and I want to equip them with the knowledge and skills to overcome these difficulties.

The board books contain tips that are beneficial for parents and teachers alike. I plan to use them during our virtual classes and share the strategies with the parents during parent-teacher conferences and back-to-school night. When our school opens for physical classes, I plan to share these books with my co-teachers through our teacher lending library. Some of these books will also be available for children to peruse at any time in the classroom, especially while taking a break in our Calm-Down Corner.
