My Project

After years of social restrictions, we are returning to "normalcy" in the classroom. Water beads, stamp pads and building toys encourage students to interact with one another in a fun, safe, and exploratory setting. The aspect of communicating, building relationships, sharing and bonding has been sorely missing in students social emotional learning. The items provided by this project will support daily social interactions within the classroom. Containers, shelves and bags will help with the organization and of all these items when sharing and storing supplies. "Filling the Gaps" will complete the classroom that has finally opened up to a more social setting. We can't wait to begin!
