My Project

This COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way teachers and students are learning these days. In-person learning is new for these students and this will allow them to have materials at home to ensure the learning continues.

These materials will help keep students engaged in learning over the winter break.

It has colorful and fun materials that will help students engage in hands-on learning through the break and keep at home. The children can use these materials throughout the year with their families. The books will help students read at home and the markers will help students practice writing.

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 with a little spark of joy during these difficult times.
