My Project

My students love being back in our school and these materials will help me increase their overall well-being in light of COVID-19.

I will be adding more Tonies Box characters and a Tonies Box charging station into our classroom.

My students love picking from our different characters and listening to the book that goes with it. I want to give them as many options to choose from as possible. COVID-19 made it hard for some parents to read to their children as often as they would have liked. The Tonies Box is also great for incorporating technology into the classroom.

I am also hoping to add some building manipulatives in my classroom. This allows them to work on their creativity and problem-solving skills. This will also help with their teamwork and their ability to share. The skill of working with others is something that some of my students lack after COVID-19.

I also want to add more magnatiles into my classroom. We do a big unit on animals and their habitats, so I would love to add the animal play sets into our collection. Having more unique & fun magnatiles teaches the students to take care of the supplies and our classroom. This is a skill that some students are lacking after COVID-19.

My students love using hands-on manipulatives to show how they are feeling. The sand tool set will be a perfect addition to our calm down corner & to our sensory bins. Students can learn and explain so much through play.

I have heard amazing things about the phonics sliders. I will be able to use these with my students to help them learn foundational phonics skills. They are also engaging and fun for the students. These will help students advance their academic learning.
