Hands on Learning
Welcome to another edition of…
Let’s be honest friends paper and pencil worksheets are becoming less and less engaging. Even before COVID worksheets have become 2nd to anything hands on or involving technology.
If you have been following me for any amount of time you know how I feel about too much technology. 😒😒
I’ve had admin from the past push technology and I get it, however… I’ve always struggled with knowing some of my students would be on Minecraft, Roadblox, etc for hours after school or well into the night so the thought of having them on for a few hours at school was hard for me. { struggle 🚌🚌 }
NOW with COVID that is our reality!!! I’m just not a fan of all this screen time for kids. 💻 We don’t even know the kind of damage it can do to them – eye twitching, 👀 attention issues, obesity, the list goes on and on….
With that being said, you will notice if you visit my store – I’ve started in the last 6 months or so creating more activities rather than worksheet packs. For instance, sensory bin packs, dramatic play activities, pin art, and YES even some techie packs with movable pieces too.

One of the things I love to offer to parents is a way for their child to learn or use something that isn’t paper and pencil that can still teach or reinforce an important concept or skill. With that my ‘sliders’ were born….I have them for ELA and MATH.
My ELA slider is for story retell – sometimes kids just need a visual and something to keep their hands busy as they are talking…this serves both purposes!
