My Project

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on the social well-being of students. Many Kindergarteners coming in haven't had many opportunities to build relationships with peers and often find it difficult to make friends. The requested games and puppets will allow students to build relationships and increase cooperation and social skills. They will learn how to share, play well with others, take turns, have fun, and increase their learning at the same time. This will also create a sense of community. These materials will not just impact my students this school year but will continue to impact students year after year.
