My Project

The stepping up and summer learning bridging materials will help continue learning and minimize learning regression over the summer, and help my families keep my students learning over the summer to prepare them for them for their big year in Kindergarten! These materials include daily learning activities to bridge learning between Pre-K and Kindergarten. It also includes journals they can write and draw in each day and check in with their feelings, a tote they can make and pack along the learning activities with them on picnics or on the go.
