My Students

My school has been closed since Friday, March 13th. Since then, our distance learning started. My school passed out laptops to all students who requested and Comcast is providing hotspot through the county. My students log into the student portal to do their assignments daily. However, not many students have their own room to study and while we are doing face to face lessons using Zoom, they don't have a quiet room. Also, many of their students' parents are not familiar with the technology. Many parents lost jobs and they are home trying to carry their lives.

My Project

My students come from the modest family. Many parents are not working and struggling to make ends meet. While parents can provide food from school lunch program, Grab-n-Go or some other resources, it is not easy to have enough money to buy arts supply for their children. These coloring pages with crayons and activity books will have them get away for a while from this craziness we are all in. Some students are depressed and sad because they can't see their friends and a teacher. These materials will help them cheer up and encourage their creativities.
