My Project

This COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way teachers and students are learning these days. Remote learning poses its own challenges, and even more so when the students are as young as 4 years-old.

These summer activities will help keep students engaged in learning.

As well as machine to help us bind their take home activities.

It has colorful and fun activities that reinforce skills taught throughout the year. The children can use these materials over the summer months with their families. It is parent-friendly and age specific for Pre-Kindergarteners moving into Kindergarten.

This project encourages hands on learning, fine and gross motor skills, as well as literacy for little minds to grow. These activities will provide the students a little spark of joy during these difficult times.

Ms. Swinson Barnard Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
