My Students

I teach preschool inclusion and my students live in a high risk area. Despite school being closed and not having hands on materials to work with, my students and parents are going the extra mile for them to be successful during the pandemic! My parents go beyond and above helping their kids to learn by using the methods and suggestions that I give them and making activities or using ones that I have made. I feel very close to my class I talk to students and parents even on the weekend. The parents and children have created a very close bond. We have created a wonderful virtual family!

My Project

These materials will put together in a kit for each student to bring with them to virtual class. Instead of them watching me count or interact with manipulative they can join me and use their own. Also parents will have a kit to do hands on learning activities that we send home or ones they they can make up themselves. These kits will be put in bags so the students that need to travel to daycare or babysitters will have there activities organized in the bag ready to use. Parents will be able to store them in a safe place in the house until they are ready to us them.
