My Students

All 280 students in my school from 3K through 5th-grade students can't go to school but stay home for distance learning. Each student's family receives either one laptop or iPad. We use different online resources, such as Google Classroom and Google Meet, to teach the students. Some students who live in shelters have a hard time with distance learning because they don't have enough space for learning. Some students have brothers or sisters who live in the home, and they need to share the laptop or iPad with their brothers or sisters. Although the students are facing economic disadvantages, they work very hard to complete their online reading and math assignments. I am so proud to be one of their teachers.

My Project

Due to the COVID-19 school closure, all the 280 students in my elementary school can't attend school but stay home for distance learning. After I teach my students in Google Meet, I realize that many students haven't practice any exercise because their parents don't allow them to go out. My students told me that they are stressed and frustrated. I plan to teach them practice exercise at home in Google Meet, and they need 19 balance boards. They will use the balance boards to develop their balance, coordination, posture, and core strength. They need to stay healthy and positive. Please help my students during this tough time. Thank you.
