Express Yourself

Help me give my students the freedom to express themselves in these times of Covid 19 as it is very important. Supplies like pens, whiteboards, bubbles, and chalk, are some ways students can express themselves and socialize in school.

My Project

Students felt isolated during Covid 19 and are now just beginning to learn or re-learn different types of social skills needed to navigate school life after Covid 19. Students need more opportunities to express themselves through art and play.

The pens, bubbles, and chalk play will give students different opportunities to work with other students to communicate their wants and needs through art and play.

These extra activities will increase the likelihood that students will want to come to school and have fun and not be afraid of isolation.
