My Project

COVID-19 has impacted my students in different ways. Some students are having to learn how to socialize appropriately with their peers; others lack confidence in reading, writing, and/or math; and others still miss school due to illness. We all continue to work together to help each other learn and grow!

The items that we are requesting help to meet the various needs of our class.

The building blocks will allow students to work and talk together as they organize and build their structures. The handwriting resources will help our students who are still struggling to make their writing legible. The beanbag chairs will provide options for students to comfortably sit while reading their book(s). The magnetic base-10 blocks provide a convenient way for us to show our thinking at our magnetic whiteboard.
