Our students have been through so much in the past two years. These first graders have never been able to experience a "normal" year. They have been deprived of a typical in-person learning environment. They have had to sit in their homes on a computer using GoogleMeet, online programs, and doing basic paper and pencil activities for the first year of their formal schooling.
These resources will help our students transition from distance learning to in-person learning as we return to a hands-on student-centered classroom. My students do not yet know the joy of sitting around the carpet to do morning meetings or listen to a read aloud story. They have not yet had the opportunity to use STEM bins to create and engineer things of their imaginations, with the help of a classmate. They are adjusting to sitting in plastic chairs with limited wiggle room for a full school day. They are learning to write on a worksheet for the very first time. These resources will help provide our students with everything they have missed during our time in distance learning. They will also support our students in adjusting to being back in school. We can anticipate some anxiety and uncertainty in our students as these first graders have never gone to in-person school. These items will help alleviate some of that anxiety and make our classroom welcoming and exciting.
