My Students

My new kindergarten friends have entered the world of remote learning and Zoom like champions!! They are full of smiles, giggles and excitement every day!! I look forward to seeing them every morning on Zoom!

We see different levels of students as they enter kindergarten.

Some have experienced day-care, pre-school, or have been at home with a parent. We love meeting them where their needs are!

My Project

The children are using iPad's for virtual learning. It can be difficult for them to adjust their iPads so that the teachers are able to see them on the Zoom screen. The book easels will help hold their ipads in place but, also can be used as book holders.

I would like to help these 5 and 6 year olds by making virtual learning as easy and fun as possible.

In addition to the book easel I will be thrilled for them to have a hard copy of Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
